Itinerary
Day 01: Kasol – Barshaini – Rudra Nag – Kheerganga
The thrilling Kheerganga trek begins from the small village of Kasol, situated on the
banks of the serene Parvati River. After pickup, move to Barshaini, the point of
confluence of the Parvati and Tosh Rivers, to start hiking. Report at base camp before
10 AM to start the trek.
While strolling through the magnificent landscape of Himachal Pradesh, you will be
treated to majestic sights of nature. On the trail, pass a few wooden bridges and some
slippery sections. During this part of the Kheerganga trek from Kasol, your eyes also
feast on many picturesque waterfalls; remember to take pictures of every single one of
these.
Later, arrive at Rudra Nag, and take a small halt to admire the beauty of the landform.
The serpent-shaped waterfall has become one of the biggest tourist attractions in the
Parvati Valley and a popular stop for trekkers.
The approximately 12-km hike along the gushing Parvati River also takes you to the
villages of Kalga and Pulga. This is a great time to learn about the local way of life and
see how people survive here. Interact with the locals, and click a few pictures with them
to save as memoirs of the amazing time you have on the Kasol to Kheerganga trek.
After reaching the green meadow of Kheerganga, take a refreshing dip in the hot
springs to wash off the fatigue of the journey. The cool weather and vistas of the mighty
peaks of the Himalayas, and the therapeutic water of the hot springs is a unique
combination; an experience you will remember for the rest of your life. Later, enjoy a
good night’s sleep in your camp to gather energy for the next day.
Day 02: Kheerganga – Rudra Nag – Barshaini – Kasol
Wake up to a magnificent view of the Himalayan peaks, and prepare for the journey
back to Kasol through the same route you took to reach Kheerganga. Seize this
opportunity to click pictures of the Himalayan landscape once again. The picture-perfect
waterfalls en route treat your eyes, and soon you arrive in Barshiani. From here, head
