How to plan a trip to Kasol as a beginner [Complete Travel Guide]

Kasol in Himachal Pradesh is one such place which is equally famous yet somehow totally off-the-radar in the Himalayas. If you search over the Internet about planning a trip to Kasol, you will get different versions about Kasol when talking to different types and ages of people.

This tiny little village, Kasol, on the banks of the Parvati river in Parvati Valley seems to speak with the hippie souls like no other place in Himachal Pradesh does. Yes, it has gained popularity in recent decades along with other villages of Parvati Valley, and the OGs would tell you that the charm is fading. But, there is still magic left when sitting beside the Parvati river and hear her sing those exclusive musical tunes!

No wonder, Kasol still has a mention in my must-visit offbeat places in Himachal .

Let's quickly dive into the details:

About Kasol

Back in the day, Kasol was a place known amongst a select few circles – especially foreigners from predominantly Israel, Russia, and a few eastern European countries. The few Indians that explored this unknown region were the ones that truly belonged in the wild, withholding this particular place. Thanks to the easy availability of mesmerizing views, beautiful landscape, fantastic weather and of course, the Malana cream .

However, when the social media gained prominence, this little serene heaven gained popularity like no other. Kasol became a brand about chilling, trekking, hiking, getting lost in nature, and just enjoying some time off. With tonnes of treks and trails surrounding the entire Parvati Valley region, it soon got famous as the second home to the backpackers in India.

Culture in Kasol & rest of Parvati Valley region

With lots of influence of foreigners, Kasol is lovingly called Mini Israel. As in Israel, it is mandatory for citizens, both men and women (YAY Equality!), to serve in the defense forces of the country. One can easily spot many Israeli soldiers roaming about the streets and chilling in cafes. Having spoken to a few in my time there, the soldiers tend to seek solidarity to process their thoughts after spending time experiencing the brutalities of army life.

Of course, the availability of Malana cream is a definite pull for the seekers of peace. I have often wondered if the name Parvati Valley has anything to do with the abundance of Hashish in the region.

Also, another significant influence in the region is of the Sikh population as Gurudwara Shri Manikaran Sahib , best known for its hot water springs, is further ahead of Kasol.

The distance from Delhi to Kasol is 520 km approximately. In the Himachal Pradesh landscape, Kasol lies 33 km from Bhuntar and is situated 4 km before Manikaran. A paradise hidden from the outside world, Kasol is nestled in the Parvati valley.

Kasol Weather

Kasol is blessed with fantastic weather throughout the year and experiences the entire cycle of seasons. Whether it is the pleasantness of the summer months or the snowfall of the winter months , the weather in Kasol is a beauty in all seasons you visit.

Monsoon in Kasol provides a beautiful green landscape with lush forests encapsulating the valleys along with the Parvati river flowing underneath, and it is just a delight. So, depending on what you’d like to experience – take your call!

If you talk about Kasol temperature, it mostly pleasant all round the year except winters when temperatures in Kasol can plummet to below zero-degree celsius.

Please note that most of the treks in Parvati Valley in monsoon are slippery and with Parvati river in spate, it is not recommended to plan a trip to Kasol in monsoon time.

Best Time to Visit Kasol & Parvati Valley

March to June is the best time to plan a trip to Kasol for the first-timers and experience a lot of activities truly. Seasoned visitors who want to experience the beauty of different weathers can choose to do so in almost any month barring monsoon. Roads are mostly well maintained throughout the year.

The Summer months provide great weather of around 15 degrees, and thus, tourists from all across the globe can be seen chilling and trekking (for the most part!). The place has started getting very crowded during this period, however, and you might run into folks who would talk about the good old days when Kasol was a hidden gem. There is a tonne of parties in the region during this time.

To experience less commercial activity and be part of the tranquillity, I will suggest choosing the post-monsoon period that is from September to November. The weather might be colder, but the greenery post-monsoon is a sight to behold.

Avoid visiting Kasol in monsoon time as the area might be prone to landslides, the treks might not be as safe, and things would be risky (relatively).

How to reach Kasol from Delhi?

This enticing journey of Kasol trip can be taken in many ways, leading to the same, delightful end! So, take your pick and get your hippie on!

The nearest airport to Kasol is Bhuntar, 31 km away, nestled in the Kullu – Manali Valley . The flights to Bhuntar are pretty much limited. The next airport is Chandigarh, 295 KMs away. You can book a taxi from Bhuntar airport , which will take you around on hour to reach.

Railway Station

The nearest railway station to Kasol is Joginder Nagar railway station, which is about 144 km away. You can hire a cab from here to reach Kasol, which will take you about 4-5 hours.

Alternatively, you can take the early morning Shatabdi from Delhi to Chandigarh (12011), which will cost you around INR 700 and will get you to Chandigarh before 11 AM. From Chandigarh to Kasol, you can make arrangements by taxi/bus/self-drive to reach Kasol.

Dheeraj Sharma

The best way to plan a Kasol trip is by road, of course. Assuming your starting point as Delhi, one can drive to Kasol. The total driving distance from Delhi to Kasol is 565 km and will take you driving time of 12 hours.

Given that you might want to stop along the way for a tedious journey, Chandigarh can be a good point for a break. Of course, there are a lot of dhabas serving delectable food on the entire Delhi – Chandigarh highway, and hence, you’ll not mind the journey one bit. And, once you cross Chandigarh and enter the hills, the magic of greenery and the sound of music from the accompanying river will keep you refreshed.

The roads to Kasol from Delhi is in good condition for the most part. All thanks to Parvati Valley being a famous place, especially amongst foreign tourists. The views are amazing, however, and compensates for the long road journey to Parvati Valley.

Own Car or Self-Drive trip to Kasol?

You can take your car or rent a self-drive car, which is a great option for driving on your own to Kasol. I have used few self-drive rental car services in Delhi and loved each experience. It gives you the freedom to chill and be your boss. (#notanad) There are other options available as well – do your browsing to get the best deals!

Bus / Public Transport – Backpacking to Kasol?

Many public transport buses leave ISBT, Delhi for an overnight journey to Bhuntar. Volvo/Mercedes buses will be available starting INR 1500. A bus from Chandigarh will take you around 8 hours.

From Bhuntar, you’ll need to change buses and catch the one heading to Manikaran and get off along the way at Kasol.

Local commute

The best way to explore Kasol is on foot. Take a lot of day hikes or treks around the region. Enjoy the tranquillity of sitting on the banks of Parvati river. Travel through your imagination while sitting in one place.

These are all great options for how to travel when in Kasol or Parvati Valley. Nearby areas require you to trek (even though the roads might be available, it is still highly recommended to walk your way!).

Please note that you should not get lost in the woods as there are numerous people who have been lost up there. Hence, take care when hiking or trekking alone.

Do not forget to check my list of things to carry on a hiking or trekking trip .

Suggested Itinerary for Kasol Trip

I really don’t want to make a day-by-day activity list for your trip to Kasol in the region. Kasol in Parvati Valley is the hippie capital of Himachal Pradesh . And now you know about it, you should be fluid in your trip plans to Parvati Valley.

Thus, plan as you’d like and do where the good winds take you!

While for some people 2-3 days in the valley are sufficient, I am also friends with people who tend to book long term accommodation and genuinely become part of the culture.

So, go for the first time, and if you vibe with the place, I am sure you will visit and revisit to experience tranquility again!

If you still need a rough sketch or a plan for your Kasol trip, then refer this high-level itinerary for your trip to Kasol in 4 days below:

• Day 1: Delhi to Kasol
• Day 2: Kasol – Chill around
• Day 3: Visit Tosh or Rasol or Chalal Village
• Day 4: Kasol to Delhi

Things to do in Kasol

A better way to plan for a trip to Kasol is to know what can be done and where you have the interests.

Commercial attractions

Well, you find thousands of Kasol images with just a simple google search. Some of these images of Kasol will force you to leave everything aside and step outside right away.

However, let’s look at some of the other interesting things to do in Kasol apart from capturing nature around.

• Kasol Party: Well, if you are those who are looking into that party kind of culture, then you can attend various music parties that keep happening in Parvati Valley much similar to the ones in Old Manali.
• Attend a music festival – Although not the same as the festivals of yesteryears, the music scene in Kasol is bona fide! Some of the more famous festivals are the Magica Festival, Parvati Peaking, and Shiva Squad Festival during summer months. The artists and DJs from all over the world are always excited to perform in the region. Their excitement is primarily so because their niche base happens to be in love with Kasol.
• Get a haircut – Given that Kasol is a hippie paradise, there is a tonne of artists that have unique styles settled in Kasol. Visit a nearby salon to get your groove going on your upcoming trip to Kasol 😉
• Try the delectable cuisine and chill in the many many cafes of the area – With significant Israeli influence, Kasol is a melting pot for food experiences. The Shashuka is delicious, the momos are to die for, and the views from the cafes will fill your heart up.

Natural Wonders

Kasol isn’t about commercial fulfillment. The real experience of Kasol lies in the lap of mother nature. Numerous unexplored, undefined trails are present in Kasol and other parts of Parvati Valley, which you can explore on your trip to Kasol.

There are a bunch of experiences in Parvati Valley that you cannot define in the ordinary sense of travel. You can express Kasol and the following surrounding regions of Parvati Valley as the Bob Marley Country, where his face is everywhere, on T-shirts, on Flags, on menus, graffitis, and even the bedsheets of some hostels.

Chalal Village

If you do one thing when in Kasol, it has to be the hike of Chalal (if you can even call it a trek!). This deeper spiritual experience will take you about 25 minutes’ walk to reach the village, and you’ve escaped all commercial life as you know it.

The solitude in Chalal village is addictive. And when the colorful trees and chirpy birds keep you company, you know you’re in heaven. I am not saying that Chalal is missing other quintessential Himalayan holiday feels.

The food is yum, and you will find many cafes that are just next to the free-flowing Parvati River. Moreover, this little hamlet is entirely safe to explore while also being wallet-friendly.

Tosh Village

Needing no introduction, Tosh is situated 20 km from Kasol. And, any trip to Kasol is incomplete if Tosh village isn’t visited. You’ll witness a tonne of fellow backpackers in the region as the main occupation in Tosh is tourism only .

While the roads are in terrible condition leading up to Tosh, if you’re a skilled driver or have high ground clearance vehicle, it is possible. However, the best option is to trek to Tosh after Manikaran.

Rasol Hamlet

Situated deep & disconnected in the Parvati Valley, Rasol village is truly a gem of a hamlet. Lying ahead of Chalal, towards Malana, overall Rasol is 5 km from Kasol.

10,000 feet above sea level, the area around Rasol is simply mystical! The community is well protected, similar to the nearby village of Malana. The main occupation here is agriculture, as well as the spinning of wool.

While an unimaginable beauty of green forests greets the visitors, the villagers are slightly wary of commercialization. It is best to respect their personal space and take considerable measures to show your respect for the customs, cultures, and surroundings.

Even though the villagers in Rasol are hesitant, it doesn’t mean that they are not friendly. Camping in Rasol is an experience to remember. The trek is simple, but, still, exhausting and will take you around 3 hours from Kasol.

The food etc. is expensive as compared to other nearby areas, but, that is to be expected given the extreme disconnect this village prides itself on.

Hence, if you have days in hand, do make sure to plan a hike to Rasol on your trip to Kasol.

Get yourself a truly local experience and stay in a local house/homestay in Kalga village. The paths are obscure, the mint tea is delicious, and the views are spectacular when you’re in Kalga.

If you’re looking for an adventure-packed activity-filled holiday on your Kasol trip, it is best to avoid Kalga village. It is home to those who want to escape the ho-drum of life while interacting with the peace and tranquillity of nature. Kalga lies at a 45-minute hike from Barshaini.

The roads post-Manikaran are poor to terrible in conditions. Thus, guaranteeing an offbeat few days. Kalga and adjacent villages of Pulga, Tulga, are known as the trio, and legend has it that these places are named after sisters that lived here centuries ago.

Tulga has a fresh Peace Place hotel, which has some fantastic views of Parvati Valley.

These villages come on the way to Kheerganga trek .

The tea treasure chest near Kasol is a small hippie town. With wooden houses and cherry blossoms in the summer months, the journey towards this little town has you covered in terms of hikes (the only way to reach the village is a 3 km hike from Bhersheni), waterfalls (and crossing foot-over bridges), apple orchards (villagers will happily pluck a few for the travelers!) as well as the gorgeous forest.

Of course, once you reach Pulga village on your trip to Kasol, there are plenty of cafes in the town with their personality and traits. My personal favorite is the Boom Shankar Café, which, admittedly, has slow service, but packs a punch in terms of the hippie vibes.

Stay for a couple of nights is highly recommended. If you’re looking for recommendations in terms of your stay – check out the Pink House, which is run by a cool sadhu baba.

Last but not least is the highly popular, yet, the highly introverted village of Malana. Can be reached only on foot, Malana is not an easy trek . Cut off from the rest of the world, Malana is claimed to be the oldest democracy in the world.

It is believed that the villagers are the descendants of Alexander the Great. The villagers consider all outsiders untouchable – so it is highly recommended to keep your photography of the locals to a minimum as well.

I will be writing detailed articles on these villages in time to come.

Where to stay in Kasol

In Kasol, the most popular form of stay is, of course, the highly budget-friendly hostels. You’ll come across a lot of these budget places and hostels in Parvati Valley right from Kasol, Tosh, and other nearby villages. These hostels and pocket-friendly guest houses help to lower the Kasol Solo Trip budget for many backpackers.

However, in the summertime, it is wise to book these Kasol hotels before going on the Kasol trip. The kind of popularity that Kasol enjoys these days is insane, and thanks to Instagram, it grows every season. So don’t be left without a room to sleep in (unless that’s your thing, which is cool!).

There are places where you can go camping on your own in Kasol as well. Of course, you are traveling with a family, you may also club trip to Kasol with Tirthan Valley stay .

In terms of luxury hotels, The Himalayan village is S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R! The Parvati Kuteer is also quite cute. However, I have almost always found it to be sold out. If you’re lucky, then it’s a cheaper option to stay in!

You can also check out Alpine Guest House (01902273710,09418400328,09816271067) or Hotel Sandhya Kasol (1902-265662,265762,09218525595, 09218525695) or Sun and Wind (1902265651,09816499561) which are some popular Kasol hotels to stay.

In Manikaran you can also check Sharma Guest Houses (01902273742, 09816973742, 09418422343) if you do not find bookings at Kasol. Whoopers Hostel is near and hosts some cool people.

Food Options in Kasol

When in Kasol, and hills in general – one must try the Honey ginger lemon tea as well as the Nutella hot milk at every restaurant you can manage. Other must-have items include the Israeli dishes, including Shakshuka.

In terms of restaurants and cafes, you should have the Jim Morrison café on your list for the hippie vibes, the Parvati river café for the insane views, the German Bakery for its carrot cake. Evergreen restaurant, Little Italy, Moon Dance Café, Lucky Dhabha, Stone Garden Café, and Panj Tara Bar & Grill are other honorary mentions.

A special shout out to Shambhu’s Momo Corner . It serves mouth-watering momos, which happen to be my favorite. It is located just opposite the German Bakery, and Shambhu’s Momo Corner will be a revisit, I can guarantee. So, do not miss to pay a visit to this place on your upcoming Kasol trip.

Kasol Trip Cost

I am sure you will have a question by now that how much will it cost for a trip to Kasol? Well, the budget or cost of the Kasol trip is a topic that I will be covering in future articles.

I will link that dedicated article back here along with some summary so that you can get to the Kasol trip cost quickly .

In general, a 4-5 day Kasol trip cost will be about Rs 3500-7000 depending on where you stay, what you eat, and how you travel. You will find plenty of Kasol packages or Kasol – Tosh packages within that range.

Other Important Tips when visiting Parvati Valley

• While ATMs would be available near Kasol, it is better to carry sufficient cash for other places in the region of Parvati Valley. Cards will not work in most nearby villages.
• Carry a water bottle and fill it up when possible. Especially during treks, it is highly essential to stay hydrated. Also, always have a good pair of hiking shoes handy.
• Be Respectful of the customs of locals. Don’t be offended if the villagers avoid strangers in different villages. Also, don’t take pictures of villagers and particularly the kids without prior permission from them!
• Goes without saying, but please do not litter or destroy natural surroundings if you have the right to enjoy it, then so should others that come after you. The sight of littered plastic/ beer bottles, cigarette butts is heart-breaking!
• Nearby regions to Kasol are known for producing some of the best Hashish which is due to the supporting climate. Hence, it grows naturally in this area. Even though locals consider it a plant, possession of the same is illegal in our country. Make sure you do not indulge in any unlawful activities on your trip to Kasol.

You should always carry your water bottle and refill it as many times as you need water. It will not only keep you hydrated always, but you will also help in saving the Himalayas from plastic garbage. Remember, every tiny step counts and your step in this direction can help save the Himalayas too !! 🙂 🙂

The hippie junction – Kasol in Parvati Valley is a must-visit for those who appreciate the art of living freely. Although it has become more commercialized in recent years, Kasol has managed to maintain its charm, especially if you visit in offseason.

A prehistoric village in the state of Himachal Pradesh, Malana is best known for its serene and outlying environment from rest of the world, and of course the controversial cannabis. It’s a place that’s really not that accessible because the people of Malana like to consider themselves a superior race (descendant of Alexander the Great). However, as you hear your friends talking about the place you will surely be attracted. People living in Malana lead a simple and extraordinary life at the same time, where they speak in Kanashi, a language different than what usually is spoken, celebrating its own festivals like Malana Fulgi mostly in the second week of February and Malana Shaun on 15th August.

Note: Since Malana is made inaccessible due to local’s resistance towards visitors, one can pass by the village en route the Chandrakhani Pass.

Kasol – A COMPLETE Travel Guide and Itinerary

When it comes to Himachal Pradesh, there is no paucity of picturesque places. It is home to some of the most popular tourist destinations in our country. Kasol is one of them. When you talk about a trip to Himachal, Kasol is one place that always pops in everybody’s list.

Kasol, a small tourist resort tucked away at a mild altitude of 1500 meters in Kullu district, is one of the most prominent places of Himachal. The natural beauty of Kasol is second to none. Earlier, Kasol and Parvati valley used to be one of the more unexplored places in Himachal. But over the years, as the people discovered its tourism potential, the tourism-related businesses increased exponentially.

One of the primary reasons why Kasol is so famous, or rather I would call infamous, is due to the easy availability of hash. But of course, Kasol has much more to offer. It is a haven for trekking enthusiasts and acts as a base for a lot of several high-altitude treks. Kasol emanates a hippie vibe as there are plenty of solo travelers, backpackers, slow travelers exploring Kasol, and areas around Parvati valley in general.

Quick Navigation

About Kasol

Kasol is a small town (or village) located in the Parvati valley of Himachal Pradesh . It is located at a distance of 30 km from Bhuntar 76 km from Manali and about 270 kilometers from Chandigarh.

Kasol is often termed as ‘Mini Israel of India’. The culture of the town is a mix of Israeli, hippie, Himachali, and Indian overall. The food you get here is a mix as well and deliciously amazing. It also provides access to some of the other popular destinations of Himachal like Malana, Manikaran, Tosh, Chalal, and Kheerganga. It also acts as a base for the famous Pin Parvati pass trek .

The weather of Kasol remains pleasant for most of the year. Put all of these together and you have a small town that is immensely popular and favored by all kinds of tourists. From a backpacker looking to get high to an adventure enthusiast to a family out on vacation, Kasol has them all.

How to reach Kasol

Reaching Kasol is not difficult at all. The connectivity from North Indian cities is fairly decent. Even though there is an airport fairly close to Kasol, people seldom travel by Air due to limited flights and expensive airfare. There is no Major railway station in Himachal that is close to Kasol. The nearest railway station is in Chandigarh.

I will first talk about how you can get to Kasol by road. For this part, in order to explain the route, I will assume Delhi as the starting point.

How to reach Kasol from Delhi by Road

Starting from Delhi, the route of the journey will be like below.

Delhi – Karnal – Ambala – Chandigarh – Bilaspur – Sundernagar – Mandi – Aut – Bhuntar – Kasol

This entire journey will be of about 520 kilometers and will take you anywhere between 12 – 14 hours. From Delhi, you will follow NH1 until Chandigarh and then take the road towards Kiratpur Sahib via Rupnagar.

The hilly region will start after Kiratpur Sahib and you will gradually start to gain altitude. The journey until Mandi will be a troublesome one because of the heavy truck traffic on this route.

After Mandi, it will turn into a pleasant drive. You will cross Mandi, Sundar Nagar, and Aut Tunnel on the way and arrive at Bhuntar. From Bhuntar, leave the Manali highway and take the road towards Kasol which is about 30 kilometers from here.

Getting to Kasol by private vehicles or self-driven cars is easy. You can easily navigate using Google maps; just don’t forget to take the diversion to Kasol from Bhuntar.

Most of the people traveling to Kasol generally start from Delhi or Chandigarh. There are a lot of HRTC, HPTDC , and private Volvos going towards Manali from Delhi and Chandigarh, overnight as well as throughout the day. Not just Delhi and Chandigarh but Manali has a large number of buses traveling to it from every city nearby. It is one of the most visited hill stations of our country and tourist inflow here never stops.

Just pick any of these buses and hop on. In my opinion, an overnight bus is the best deal. But do not go all the way to Manali. You must get down at Bhuntar.

From Bhuntar, the road to Parvati valley bifurcates. Once you are Bhuntar Bus stand, you can board any bus going towards Manikaran and get down at Kasol. The first bus is at 7 AM and then on an hourly basis after that. The fare per person for Kasol is Rs. 30.

Local buses are cheap and available throughout the day at regular intervals. There are a couple of HRTC buses from Kashmere gate which go all the way up to Manikaran (Kasol comes before Manikaran). You can ask around at the ticket counter and if there was one available, board it.

How to reach Kasol by Train

The nearest railway station to Kasol is in Joginder Nagar, at a distance of 125 kilometers. This one however is a narrow-gauge track and connected with Pathankot with a Toy train (like Shimla Kalka toy train ). The next nearest major railhead is in Chandigarh which is also a better option. Finding a train to Chandigarh will be much easier and simpler as it is well-connected with all the major cities of India by rail.

How to reach Kasol by Flight

The nearest airport to Kasol is in Bhuntar, also known as Kullu Manali Airport. The problem however is that flights to this airport are very limited and often canceled. It will also cost you more. Hence, a better option is to book a flight to Chandigarh and travel to Kasol from there.

But yes, flying to this airport is an option nonetheless. If you were short on time and a flight was available, you can reach Bhuntar airport and go to Kasol from there. You can get a taxi from right outside the airport.

Where to stay in Kasol

There is no dearth of accommodation in Kasol. You get a variety of options like hotels, hostels, guesthouses, and homestays. According to your budget and needs, you can choose a place to stay.

Budget Hotels in Kasol

If we talk about budget places, then as soon as you enter Kasol there are a lot of hotels where you can get a room for Rs. 500. Of course, for most time of the year except for peak tourist season, which is the summer season and the new year period. But generally, you should have no problem finding a place in Kasol at around 500-800. I went to Kasol in the winters and got a decent room for Rs. 500 at Green valley view.

Bit Expensive Hotels in Kasol

The area towards the end of Kasol has a lot of decent hotels and guesthouses. Of course, these are not your typical budget accommodation. There is hotel Sandhya which is a proper 3-star hotel with high room Tariff. Then there are Greenhouse cottages just near Sandhya. It is probably one of the best places to stay in Kasol.

The area here is not as crowded as other parts of Kasol. The riverbank is just a couple of minutes away from here. You can also enter forests in just a couple of minutes. I had a good time while staying at greenhouse cottages.

It was priced at ₹1000 but again due to off-season (late winter), it was quite cheap. But if you have a good budget, then you should stay in the area near the hotel Sandhya. It is quite peacefully around this part of Kasol.

Hostels in Kasol

Cheap hostel dorm beds are one of the reasons why Kasol is preferred by Solo travelers, budget travelers, backpackers. The only major hostel chain is the hosteller in Kasol. But there are other hostels like the nomad’s hostel in Choj, but it is a bit away from Kasol. But definitely, you would find a decent dorm bed at ₹300-500 at such hostels. These hostels have private rooms as well.

Best time to visit Kasol

Kasol, like most parts of Himachal, experiences 5 distinct seasons namely Summer, Monsoon, Autumn, Winter, Spring. Of course, each season has its own charm. I personally would recommend visiting Kasol in each season.

Though the best time would be definitely from April to June in late spring and summer and then from September to November in Autumn. Monsoon should be avoided as it rains quite heavily and there are frequent landslides in the area. Trekking during monsoon also becomes a bit perilous.

If you can bear the cold, then there is no better time to Kasol, then winters. Kasol receives good snowfall starting from December end to early February. Snow in Kasol usually makes everything even more picturesque.

What to see in Kasol

Kasol is in itself a tourist attraction of Parvati Valley. In fact, it is probably the very heart and the biggest attraction in the valley. There is not much to see in Kasol as such because it is just a small village.  The natural beauty and the serenity of the place are what attract tourists here all year long.

Other than that, the restaurants of Kasol are also something to look forward to. Because of the overall hippie and Israeli-influenced culture, the food that you get here is truly amazing. You can get some of the best Italian, Israeli, and Tibetan food in Kasol that you ever tasted.

There local market of Kasol is also an attraction in itself. You can buy some small trinkets, handicrafts, accessories, trendy clothes, woolens, fake jewelry, stones, and caps. The Israeli and Hippie touch of the village also reflects on the clothes and items that you will find here.

It is the town of Manikaran that is famous for its hot water springs. But did you know that there is one in Kasol as well, near Chalal Bridge? That is right. If you were short on time and wanted to take a dip in the naturally hot waters, you do not have to go all the way to Manikaran for it. You can do it right there in Kasol.

Last but not least, Kasol is on the banks of River Parvati. There are several places where you can get down and sit by the river. I know it may sound like a cliché but it in fact something that you will greatly enjoy.

Places to visit around Kasol

The short list of places I provided above includes the ones that you can see in Kasol itself. But it does not end here. Parvati Valley offers much more that will make it worth your while and money.

Using Kasol as a base, there are several other places nearby that you can explore.  If you had about a week in hand, you will have a busy schedule hopping from one place to another.

I have covered this topic in another article, Places to visit in and around Kasol and Things to do. Adding information here on all of them would just have rendered this one article endless so I decided to move to a different post. But for a brief overview, below is a list of places that you can visit near Kasol. If you want to get more details, please click on the link above.

Malana Village

Malana is an ancient village perched at around 2400 m deep inside Parvati valley. The village is best known for its unique customs, its history, and traditions. But most of all, it is the hashish that is grown here that puts Malana on the world map. To know more details on the village and how to get here, please take a look at Malana Village Travel Guide .

A trip to Kasol or Parvati valley is incomplete without experiencing the picturesque Tosh. Surrounded by beautiful pin forests and huge mountains, the area around Tosh is straight out of a fairytale.

Kasol and is considered a hippie paradise, and Tosh is no different. Tosh is as hippie as it gets. To know more, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Tosh Village .

Manikaran is a picturesque holy town just 4 km ahead of Kasol. It is famous for its Gurudwara and ancient Hindu temples. Taking a dip Hot Sulphur springs is one of the most popular things to do in Manikaran. There is a daily bus available between Kasol and Malana that you can board to visit here. If you wish to, you can even spend a night in Manikaran to explore the place.

Nothing can get as mainstream as Kheerganga when it comes to places around Kasol. It is probably the most famous beginner trek in Himachal apart from Triund in Mcleodganj. It is a very scenic trail that offers greats views and can be attempted even by absolute beginners. To know more, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Kheerganga .

Chalal is located right next to Kasol and you can even walk between both the villages in less 15 minutes. It is more peaceful and I think an even more scenic version of Kasol.

These were probably the most famous places around Kasol but there are several others that are equally scenic. Mentioned below is a list.

• Mateura Jari
• Kalga and Pulga
• Waichin Valley
• Nakhtan Village
• Rudra Nag Temple
• Thakur Kuan Village
• Pandupul Village

To read about these places in further detail, please take a look at Places to visit around Kasol and Things to Do .

Things to do in Kasol

Other than visiting the above-mentioned places, listed below are some other activities that you can enjoy in Kasol.

• Take a stroll in the woods
• Sit by the Parvati River
• Hike to the nearby villages like Chalal, Choj, Katagla.
• Satiate your taste buds with delectable cuisines at the restaurants
• Take a dip at hot water springs near Chalal Bridge
• Photography
• Observe and experience an entirely different kind of culture
• Talk to the locals and learn about their lives

Trekking and Hiking around Kasol

One of the best things to do when in Kasol is to trek. Kasol is perfect for avid trekkers and adventure connoisseurs. The landscapes that you get to witness in the upper reaches of Parvati while being on such treks are just otherworldly. Hikes around Kasol caters to everyone, be it a novice hike or an adept trekker.

For beginners, Kheerganga near Barshaini is the perfect one. Intermediates can try out Sar pass trek, Waichin valley, Dev Ropa, Bun Buni pass. Experts can venture on the famous Pin Parvati pass, Mantalai lake, or less explored but not uncommon treks like Sara Umga La, Animal pass trek near Tosh.

Almost all these treks are not navigable during winters. So, the best time to embark on these treks would be towards the end of May and the whole of June and then after monsoon during September and early part of October. All these treks are covered in this blog. So, don’t forget to check it out.

Weather of Kasol

Owing to its high altitude, the weather of Kasol mostly remains cold throughout the year. Summers here are short and pleasant whereas winters can get freezing. Except for the months of May and June, the temperature rarely goes beyond 25°C.

Kasol in summers

May and June are peak summer months in Kasol. Everything is quite accessible in Parvati Valley during summers. The valley is lush green during summers and the weather is pleasant. The average day temperature is around 25 degrees while the night temperature is around 14 degrees.

The landscape appears very vibrant. All in all, it is the perfect time to visit Kasol. All major treks start to open up one by one as the snow melts in the upper reaches. So, hiking activities commence in full flow during summers.

The only downside I feel would be the crowd. People flock from plains to escape the brutal heat. Thus, Kasol becomes severely packed with tourists. Due to the heavy tourist influx, accommodation expense goes up considerably.

Kasol in monsoon

Monsoon starts from early July and lasts till early September. During this period, Kasol receives quite heavy rainfall. But the valley is greener than ever. With the whole town shrouded in mist and fog during monsoon, it has a different charm altogether. The average maximum temperature is 28 degrees, and the minimum temperature is 18 degrees.

A lot of beautiful scenery will be lost as the weather is overcast for most of the monsoon. This is one of the reasons why most people avoid going to Parvati valley during monsoons. But for people traveling slow, monsoon would be a perfect time as the Kasol is less crowded and even less expensive.

The only downside I feel during monsoons is trekking. Hiking and trekking can be a bit difficult as the trail becomes quite slippery. Plus, the perennial perils of landslides, flash floods have wreaked havoc in the Himalayas in recent memory. So, one should practice caution while venturing into Kasol at least during August, the peak of monsoon.

Kasol in Autumn

Monsoon starts to withdraw from Himachal starting Mid-September. Rains gradually decrease making way for clear days. It might rain a bit in September. But October and November have the least precipitation. September to early October can be a perfect window for some of the high-altitude treks.

While in September, the vistas are still green. Starting October, they turn golden brown. The weather in September is quite pleasant. The temperature gradually plummets starting October making mornings and evenings colder.

In my opinion, Autumn is one of the best times to visit the valley. The weather is clear. The chances of precipitation are minimum resulting in incredible landscapes all around. This makes hiking quite enjoyable. The crowd is less compared to summers making a budget trip possible.

Kasol in Winters

Kasol experiences winter from early December to early March. It gets really cold during winters as the valley experiences sub-zero temperatures. It snows from late December till early February but it only increases the beauty of every landscape exponentially.

If you can bear the cold, then Kasol is amongst the best places to experience winters. Of course, the valley is all golden brown if it has not snowed for days, but in Kasol, it still seems vibrant with all the snow-capped mountains and forests around.

The only downside of peak winters is trekking. All the high-altitude treks are closed. The hikes to villages like Malana, Rashol, Grahan is still possible. The trail to Kheerganga is also buried in deep snow. But with proper caution and winter gear, these treks are possible. Also, note that a couple of the popular cafes might be closed as there is hardly any crowd during peak winters.

The average daytime temperature would be 10 degrees, while the average minimum temperature would be 2 degrees. Of course, it will even go below zero at night, once the weather clears out after snow or rain. After Early February, snowfall is unlikely. Instead, it will rain whenever the western disturbance approaches the Indian Himalayas.

Kasol in Spring

Months of March and April are considered as spring in Parvati Valley and it one of the best times to visit. The temperatures start increasing as precipitation starts decreasing. The mountains are still heavily covered in snow, which makes the scenery quite impeccable. The trees and plants slowly start crawling back to life as the Spring approaches. The landscapes are very pretty in Spring.

Another advantage is the tourist rush is still low. Therefore, you can enjoy a lot without spending too much on the accommodation. As far trekking is concerned most of the treks in the higher reaches are still closed due to a lot of snow.

But a few might start to open up towards the end of April. As the transition happens from winter to spring commences, the frequency of western disturbances also decreases. Therefore, late spring (April) can be one of the best times to visit Kasol.

The average temperature maximum temperature during spring is 18 degrees, while the minimum is 8 degrees. Of course, it will be much lower in case of any western disturbance approaching the region. It may even rain during such storms.

Camping in Kasol

There are a lot of camping spots in and around Kasol. But in my opinion, Chalal near Kasol is one of the coolest camping spots in the entire valley. A lot of operators run campsites near the riverbank in Kasol, Chalal, Choj. So, you can opt for one if you don’t want to go through the hassle of setting up tents.

Of course, there are camps at places like Rashol and Grahan, but those are a bit far away from Kasol and you must trek to reach there. During my visit, I had also seen tented accommodation at the new forest rest house in Kasol. There were also campsites set up near Hotel Sandhya and Greenhouse cottages.

Mobile Network in Kasol

MTNL / BSNL has the widest coverage in Himachal but almost all the network operators have excellent coverage in Kasol. You will get full 4g internet with good speed. This will ensure that you’re connected with your friends and family all the time. Fast internet also means you can go on with your social media shenanigans.

During my trip in the winter of 2019, I had full 4g coverage on my Vodafone. Even Jio and Airtel work very well in the main town. The network coverage only tends to be a hindrance at far off places like Grahan, Rashol.

What and Where to Eat

I have been to Parvati Valley a few times and whenever I am there, I make sure that I pick a different restaurant for each of my meals. I never eat at the same place for more than once. That is really the magic of the restaurants of Kasol and the food they serve.

The entire town is home to several hippie cafes. There are so many of them here that it would probably take around three days if you were to cover them all. This is why it is a heaven for foodies. But they are also a bit expensive, to be honest.

The prominent cuisine in Kasol is Israeli and middle eastern. Italian cuisine is quite ubiquitous in the cafes. The thing which remains common across all the cafes is extremely scrumptious delicacies that will surely satiate your taste buds. The famous cafes include Evergreen Cafe, little Italy, Jim Morrison’s cafe, Moonlight cafe, Bhoj Cafe, Panj tara Cafe.

But don’t worry. There are several other small eateries as well where you will not have to spend a lot on your meals. If you were on a budget, just walk around in the village and you will find several places where you can eat without burning a hole in our pocket.

Shopping in Kasol

Yes, you can do a bit of shopping as well but only if you are not brand or quality conscious. Things that you will find here are more like the stuff that you buy from a flea market. The Israeli and Hippie touch of the village also reflects on the clothes and items that you will find here. It is a good place to buy some small trinkets, handicrafts, accessories, trendy clothes, woolens, fake jewelry, stones, and caps.

Itinerary for Kasol

Below is an example of an itinerary that you can follow for visiting Parvati Valley. For this itinerary, I will assume Delhi as your starting point. But even if you were coming from a different city, only the journey on the first and the last day will be different. The rest of the details will still apply.

• Day 1: Arrive in Kasol
• Day 2: Spend the day in the town. Relax, visit the market, and try a few different restaurants.
• Day 3: Make a day trip to Malana. Start early in the morning, trek to Malana, and come back to Kasol by evening. You cannot spend the night in Malana so you will have to trek down.
• Day 4: Malana to Tosh. Spend the day in Tosh enjoying the scenery.
• Day 5: Tosh to Kheerganga
• Day 6: Kheerganga to Kasol. If you were traveling by Bus, you can in fact return to Delhi on this day itself by boarding an evening bus.
• Day 7: Return to Delhi

If you did not have 7 days in hand, you can remove either of the days that I suggested. You can also take a look at How to Plan a Weekend Trip to Kasol for a shorter travel plan.

Other Details

Mentioned below are some other details that can be of help in planning your trip.

Clothes to Pack

This will entirely depend on the time of your trip. For the summer season, pack normal cotton clothes and a light jacket for mornings and evenings. If visiting between July to September, opt for clothes that can dry faster. The temperature towards the end of September gets cold so you should bring a jacket accordingly.

If visiting in winter, you will have to bring all heavy woolens, cap, muffler, jacket, gloves, and insulated shoes. You should also pack lip balm and cold cream for a trip in winter.

If you were here in January or February, you may have to walk around in the snow so bring a pair of shoes that can keep the snow and the wet out. For people wanting to trek to Malana or Kheerganga, you should pack trekking shoes that have a good grip.

Medical Assistance

The nearest hospital is either rin Jari or in Manikaran. I could be wrong here but at least I did not notice a hospital in Kasol. I will strongly suggest you bring some basic medicines like for flu, upset stomach, fever, headache, pain relief spray, etc.

Road Conditions

Once you take the diversion to move towards Parvati Valley from Bhuntar, the roads become narrow but it is not terribly bad. I would say the road is good overall with only a few bad patches here and there. The road is all tarred and bad patches are limited to only a few.

During monsoon, there are high chances of landslides. Therefore, the roads may get blocked for a few hours to days. Even in winter, the town remains accessible owing to its lower altitude. Barring a few snowy days, the road will be in good shape. The snow melts away quickly after a few sunny days.

There is just one ATM in Kasol. Usually, it is functional. But I have heard stories of it not working. Therefore, please take enough cash with you that can last the entire trip. The next confirmed ATM is only in Jari, and there might be one in Manikaran too, but not very sure.

Below are some frequently asked questions about visiting Parvati Valley.

Kasol Itinerary for First Time Travellers

traveller Swapnil

Kasol itinerary will be very helpful if you are visiting Kasol for the very first time. It can be a little confusing as to what places should one cover during the visit as there is no dearth of picturesque places in and around Kasol, I am hoping that my detailed Kasol itinerary will help you plan your travel without any hassle.

Not long ago Kasol was just another quaint little hamlet tucked away deep in Himachal Pradesh that no one knew about. Recently it burst onto the tourist map due to two main reasons, one being easy availability of high-quality hashish ( Possession and consumption of Hashish are illegal in India,  you can be even arrested if you happen to have it ), and second due to beautiful hiking and trekking trails all around Kasol.

In my opinion, Kasol offers much more than the stereotypical clichés given to it by people. For instance, if you are a foodie then Kasol is the best place to be at. There are a ton of different cafés that offer lip-smacking multi-cuisine delicacies to soothe your taste buds.

If you are an avid trekker then there are a lot of hiking routes and trails that will excite you. The vibe of this place is such that one would to just relax and admire the serene landscapes while witnessing the river Parvati in its full flow.

Kasol Itinerary: Things to know before you go 

Kasol, a scenic hamlet located in Parvati Valley in the state of Himachal Pradesh is the hippie capital of India. Kasol was already on the hippie trail for quite a long time but only a handful of people knew about it. Off late more and more people have started visiting this place, making it a favourite among backpackers

There are many things you can do in and around Kasol. A pre-defined Kasol itinerary can help you explore Kasol in a more efficient manner.  In the current blog, I will be providing you with a detailed Kasol itinerary. However, before I proceed, there are certain things you should know Kasol:

Kasol Itinerary: Best Way to spend 2, 4 or 6 Days in Kasol 

From relishing hummus to going on a trek, there are many exciting things to do in Kasol .  So, depending on the number of days you have, this Kasol itinerary will surely help you plan accordingly. I would suggest spending around 4 -7 days in an around Kasol, but many do not have that luxury.

I started my Kasol trip from Mumbai by taking a direct flight to Delhi. I backpacked across Parvati Valley for 10 days and stayed in Kasol for around 4-days during winters.

As most of the people who travel to Himachal Pradesh either start from Delhi or Chandigarh, here are 3 different Delhi to Kasol trip itineraries depending on the number of days.

Surreal landscapes as seen from Chalal bridge which is just 5 mins away from the main Kasol market. Chalal is one of the must-visit treks around Kasol

Kasol itinerary for 2 days: Perfect for a Weekend Trip to Kasol 

This 2-night Kasol itinerary can be a perfect weekend trip if you are looking to escape your mundane routine for a couple of days. I am assuming that the trip starts from Delhi.

You start by boarding an overnight bus from ISBT Kashmere Gate, Delhi. You can take an HRTC Volvo bus and even book the tickets in advance online . These are a quite comfortable and convenient option. Board any bus that goes to Manali.

Kasol Itinerary 4 days: The plan I would recommend 

I feel that a minimum 4-days are needed to experience the sheer beauty of this place. This 4 days Kasol Itinerary also involves a bit of trekking to one most famous and beginner-friendly treks in Himachal that is Kheerganga.

Your trip starts by taking an overnight bus from Delhi to Bhuntar.

Parvati Valley in Kasol is a natural wonder. The natural beauty of the woods will mesmerize you. The clear blue water of the Parvati river adds to the magnificence of this place.

Kasol Itinerary 6 days: Exploring Parvati Valley to the Fullest 

If you have the luxury of staying in Kasol about a week, there is much more you can do. This 6-day Kasol Itinerary will enable you to explore many nearby places around Kasol and Parvati valley and trek around Parvati valley and Kasol as well.

Board evening Volvo bus from ISBT Kashmere Gate to begin your Kasol adventure.

7 Places that need to be added to your Kasol Itinerary 

Here is a brief overview of some of the places covered under my Kasol itinerary:

• Malana – Malana is a remote village located in Parvati Valley. Dubbed as the oldest democracy in the world, people in Malana expect visitors to abide by some rather strange rules. You can read all about these rules in this blog .
• Manikaran- Manikaran is a Sikh and Hindu pilgrimage centre that attracts many visitors. Take a dip in the hot water springs here and visit the temples and the Gurudwara.
• Tosh-  Tosh is the last motorable village in Parvati Valley. Surrounded by lush green mountains with pine, deodar, oak trees, it offers a magnificent view of these mountains. You can read my complete backpacking guide to Tosh in this blog .
• Chalal – Chalal is just 30 mins hike from Kasol It is one of the shortest and easiest hiking trails around Kasol.
• Rasol – Rasol is another unexplored village in Parvati Valley. You can easily trek from Kasol to Rasol village in about 2-3 hours.
• Kheerganga – Kheerganga is one of the most sought after treks in Kasol. This trek takes about 2 days to finish and can be completed even by beginners.
• Kalga- is another lesser-known village of Parvati Valley. You can find a few accommodations here.

How much will your Kasol Trip Cost?

One of the main reasons why people head to Kasol and nearby places is because it is light on the pocket as there are is no scarcity of decent budget options for accommodation except for a few months when it is peak season. The internal transport in and around Kasol is also very cheap.

Accommodation is fairly inexpensive in and around Kasol (except peak season prices are high to due high tourist influx). A budget stay will cost around 500-800 INR per day depending on what you choose .

• If you choose Backpackers hostel that it can come down to around 300-350 INR per dorm bed.
• Guesthouses and will cost anywhere between 500-800 INR.

If you have someone to share a room with, then guesthouses and hotels can be a decent option as well. You can opt for Luxury hotels, guesthouses in Kasol but your cost will go up. Kasol also has a lot of campsites around the bank of the river Parvati. But they tend to be a little bit expensive than Hostels, Guesthouse, and hotels.

The only thing that is a little bit expensive is the food. If you are going to visit the famous cafés in Kasol then it will cost you a bit but trust me it is worth it since the food is just amazing here.

Food is going to a bit expensive here, So I would say it will be around 500-700 INR per day depending on how many cafes you visit. Though it is a little bit on the expensive side, trust me, you will love all the Multi-cuisine delicacies that Cafés in Kasol offer.

Green house cottage is located at one of the best locations at Kasol. It is surrounded by forest and Parvati river is a 5-minute distance away from the cottage. I absolutely loved the stay here.

Where to Stay In Kasol on a budget?

The accommodation shouldn’t be a problem as there are plenty of budget hostels, hotel, and guest houses. As soon as you enter Kasol, you will spot clusters of Budget hotels and guesthouses the rooms there are not fancy but are decent enough.

They can be priced anywhere between 500 – 800 INR . The prices can be exorbitantly high during the peak season even for even basic rooms. I stayed in a couple of hotels in that area that were decent and were priced at INR 500, but it was in February which can be considered as off-season and it did feel like off-season as the foreign travellers were almost absent.

For all you backpackers and solo travellers, backpacker hostels will come to your rescue as there a couple of popular hostel chains in Kasol. Some of the best hostels here are:

If you are for some decent luxury rooms then there you have to go to the far end of Kasol. Hotel Sandhya is one of the luxury hotels in Kasol . Greenhouse cottages near Hotel Sandhya have very spacious and amazing rooms. The Forest area and Parvati riverbank are also near. I got an amazing deal for Greenhouse cottages priced at INR 1000 . But this was winter, prices will be surely on the higher side during peak season.

How to reach Kasol?

There is no direct bus for Kasol from either Delhi or Chandigarh. Therefore, for a first time visitor, reaching Kasol can be a  bit confusing.

Reaching Kasol by road

Kasol can be only reached by road. For those making a solo trip to Kasol or are on a tight budget, Volvo buses will be your best bet. First, you need to board buses going towards Manali. There are a lot of Ordinary and Volvo buses of both private operators and HRTC plying on Delhi – Manali route from ISBT Kashmere gate.

Then you need to get down at Bhuntar since this is where the road to Kasol in Parvati valley diverts. From Bhuntar you need to take to local buses or shared cabs going towards Kasol.

There are a couple of HRTC buses from Delhi in the evening that directly go towards Manikaran. I n case you don’t want to do a break journey and save time then is the perfect option (Kasol comes before Manikaran). Of course, there are only two buses so it might not be convenient for everybody.

If have self-driven cars or private vehicles, then just make sure you take the diversion at Bhuntar. On average Delhi to Kasol, bus journey would take around 13-15 hours.

Reaching Kasol by Air

The nearest airport is in Bhuntar, but the frequency of flights to Bhuntar is very less. So the fares are on the higher side. From Bhuntar, you can take shared cabs or local buses going towards Kasol. It might not be a budget-friendly option, but if you short on days and budget is not a constraint then this option should be considered.

Jim Morrisons café is one of the best cafe in Kasol. I absolutely loved the vibe of this café and they serve awesome food here. It is must visit when you are in Kasol.

Where and what to eat in Kasol?

Though cafes predominantly serve Italian and Israeli food, most of them offer multi-cuisine including Indian food in some cafés. Israeli food like hummus, falafel platter, etc. will be readily available and is a must-try when you are in Kasol .

Italian food served in most of the cafes is extremely delectable. Apart from Italian and Israeli food, traditional Indian food is also readily available in and around Kasol.

Kasol is also famous for its mouth-watering desserts like cakes, pie, croissants, etc . There are quite a few bakeries here which serve these kinds of deserts. Germany bakery being the most popular one out there with its apple pie and cheesecakes being a must-try. Unfortunately, when I visited Kasol German bakery was not operational since it was off-season and would open again only after April.

There are a ton of different Cafes in Kasol and you probably require 2 days to cover all of them. I visited quite a few of them and the food was extremely delicious. Bhoj Café, Evergreen Café, Freedom Café, Moondance Café, Jim Morrisons Café, Little Italy, Panj Tara Café are among the popular ones in Kasol.

In my opinion, Evergreen Café, Jim Morrisons Café and Little Italy are a must-visit as they serve lip-smacking food. Personally, my favourite is Jim Morrisons café as the café inspired by Jim Morrison the lead singer of the classic rock band “The Doors”, classic rock numbers are played during the day. The café has a very chill vibe to it and is heaven for vegetarians as the café serves only vegetarian food. To reach this café you would have to hike uphill for 10 minutes from Hotel Sandhya.

Unlike Manali, there are not many cafes that offer live music in Kasol. Panj Tara café is the only one that I know which offers live music.

What’s the best time to visit Kasol?

This is very subjective as this would depend on what kind of colours and landscapes one wants to see. But one thing is for sure the weather remains very comfortable throughout the year except for cold winters which start from late November to early March.

If you time your visit to Kasol during off-season months like January, February, March in winter, or in September, October, November during Autumn, then you would enjoy it a lot more as there would be no crazy tourist rush when compared to Summer months or the period of Christmas and new year. There would be no problems whatsoever for Backpackers and Budget travellers as the accommodation prices would not be exorbitantly high.

A total whiteout near Malana gate. If you want to experience snowfall, then heading to Malana can be wonderful to experience it as it is just 2 hours from Kasol. Though it snows in Kasol, if you visit in February or March then the chances of experiencing snowfall are very less in Kasol.

  Is Kasol safe to visit?

Kasol is very safe irrespective of gender. In fact, all of the Himachal is very safe and you will find lots of solo travellers backpacking around Kasol and Parvati valley. As you might already know Kasol is infamous for people looking for high-quality hashish called ‘Malana Cream’ , so please make sure you don’t engage in such illicit activities as possession of Hashish is illegal and you can even be arrested.

Apart from this, locals are very amiable and approachable, and they will help you out in any situation, so don’t hesitate and approach them if you need help. While hiking and trekking around this pristine valley avoid taking shortcuts unless accompanied by a professional guide.  

Travel Tips for Kasol Trip 

I hope this detailed Kasol itinerary helps you plan your travel successfully. Here are a few other tips that will come in handy on your trip to Kasol:

It’s always easy if have some sort of itinerary before travelling as it helps you plan better.

Villagers are slightly suspicious of foreigners in their town due to the after-effects of tourism seen in prominent places like Kasol, Manali, and Tosh, and take considerable measures to avoid physical contact and defend their personal space. So, we highly recommend not to invade their privacy!

Food is a little pricey here due to the village’s isolation from the outside world, which raises the cost of obtaining food in Rasol. But trust us when we say that the dish is well worth the price.
