Once a sleepy village positioned in the mysterious Parvati Valley, Kasol is a hub for young backpackers, peace seekers and India’s hashish capital. A backpacking trip to Parvati Valley will remain incomplete without spending a night in this Himalayan hamlet widely popular among smokers. Kasol gives easy access to some naturally occurring herbs that are purer and affordable too. Nestled along the roaring Parvati River, this hippie paradise in Himachal Pradesh is a great option to escape the monotony of urban life and soak in the good vibes amidst the majestic Himalayas.
From hiking to ancient villages, and interacting with locals to chilling and treating yourself with delicious falafel in local cafes, Kasol is truly a traveler’s delight in the lap of the Himalayas.
Lies at the extreme end of Parvati Valley, the trek to Kheerganga is one of the most loved trekking trails near Kasol. Positioned at an altitude of 13,000 ft, Kheerganga is a holy place with a hot water spring - a kund blessed by the holiness of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The trekking route from Barshaini to Kheerganga is decorated with dense forests, soul-soothing waterfalls, rustic villages and gorgeous Himalayan vistas; therefore making this destination a hit for trek lovers. So, put on your backpack and head out for camping at Kheerganga in Parvati Valley.

Booked a trip to Kasol-Kheerganga with Go4Explore and had an awesome time. It didn't feel like we were in a rush at any point and were exploring at a leisurely pace. It was good to have the first day to explore in and around Kasol and relax after a long bus trip rather than starting the trek to Kheerganga straightaway. It helped us recharge our batteries and start the trek with minimum fatigue. The hotel room we (group of 6) were given was really great with ample space for each person without the need for anybody to sacrifice their comfort. Our group leader Nishant Jha was a really positive person and a great guy to be around. He is really helpful and having him with us really amplified the amount of fun we had on the trip. The camps (ours was a triple-shared tent) at the Kheerganga campsite were very spacious and comfortable with a good amount of blankets and were great for late night story sessions with 6-7 people in them in a comfortable manner. The only negative (not an issue with Go4Explore specifically, but with the bus company) was that at the time of our return there were some issues with the bus timings and had to play catchup for a long distance. Our total group of 16 was left in Kasol at 10 PM in the night but Go4Explore arranged cabs for us to catchup to our bus which had reached Mandi by the time we caught them. But, other than that, this was a great trip and I sure hope to do this again in the future!

The Kasol-Kheerganga trek by Go4Explore was conducted exceptionally well. Special thanks to our team leader (group captain) Nikhil Sharma. The arrangements made were perfect from start till end and as it's my first time, I was nervous but Nikhil provided immense support throughout the journey, constantly keeping everyone engaged and making the whole journey a memory to cherish for lifetime.
