3. Trek To Kheerganga

To experience nature at its best, the Kheerganga trek is the way to go which is roughly 12 kms and takes about 5-6 hrs! This lengthy yet fairly easy trek might take some time to cover, so you can camp on your way uphill. Amidst the beautiful mountains, this adventure-packed trek is sure to be a memorable one. 

4. Take A Holy Dip In The Hot Springs Of Manikaran

Believed to be the place where Lord Shiva meditated for more than 3000 years *woah*, Manikaran is stunning and the best part is that it just lies a few minutes away from Kasol! When here, you cannot NOT take a dip in the healing hot springs here, though for a short time!  

5. Visit The Quaint Village Of Chalal

About 30 minutes from Kasol, lies a place packed with thrill and nerve-racking adventure - Chalal! Clear cascades, sparkling streams and the serenity of nature, this place will take you breath away! So if the city life has messed up your mind enough then plan a trip here already. 

6. Hop & Shop At The Flea Markets

At the flea markets in Kasol, you’ll find extremely sasta, sundar & tikau sa stuff, so go crazy shopping for some memorabilias! You’d find everything from psychedelic glow in the dark art, Bob Marley and Shiva printed t-shirts to pretty dreamcatchers, Himachali trinkets and handicrafts and trust us, you won’t be able to resist splurging!

7. Spend Some *Me Time* At The Iconic Parvati River

Parvati River is without a doubt the best part of Kasol! Water as white as milk and crashing waves - the beauty of this place can’t be described in words! You can literally stay here for hours and still not get over the picturesque scenery! Also, be sure to check out all the cool cafes and restaurants that lie nearby.  

8. Party The Night Away! 

If you thought Kasol was all about treks and inner introspection then think again ‘cause the party scene here is LIT! Kasol is the hub of psytrance music festivals that are usually protected by the administrative district which basically means that these might be the only rave parties in India that are legal and filled with fun activities alongside all the boozing & booming *NAICE*! So plan a trip accordingly and live it up!  

So are your bags packed?!
