Start your adventure with a visit to the Parvati River. With its crystal clear waters and surrounding mountains, the spot draws visitors for relaxing and adventure sports like rafting. After that, make your way to the Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara, which is renowned for its hot springs. You can bathe in the spring for a nominal fee and enjoy the beautiful surrounding view.
Explore the stunning mountain vistas on the Kheerganga Trek, which is a moderate-level trek of 14 km from Barshaini to Kheerganga. It takes around 5-6 hours to complete the trek. After reaching Kheerganga, relish the beautiful view of the Himalayas and take a dip in the natural hot springs. On your way back to Kasol, stop by the Rudra Naag Waterfall, which is around two km downhill from Kheerganga, for an excellent dipping experience under the waterfall.
Visit the quaint little hamlet of Tosh Village situated at an altitude of 7900 feet. Explore its narrow cobblestone streets, apple orchards, and babbling streams before enjoying a delicious lunch at one of its local cafes. Then proceed towards the isolated village of Malana Village, which is famous for its wildlife beauty and the Malana Cream, a unique strain of cannabis. Please note that the villagers of Malana prefer privacy and have strict rules, so please follow them.
If you have more time, you can also visit the Chalal Village, explore the Kasol Market and indulge in some North Indian street food. For adventure buffs, go for a Paragliding session or a Himalayan jeep safari. If you have less time, you can skip the visit to Malana Village. Please note that the region falls under the influence of cannabis, so be extremely careful with whom and where you indulge. Also, make sure you carry your proper snow trekking gear and comfortable shoes for this trip.
