Kasol & Kheerganga Backpacking

Overview

This Kasol tour package from Mumbai brings you to Kasol, often called the 'Mini Israel of India', a village on the banks of the Parvati river in Himachal Pradesh that serves as the starting point for some of the most beautiful short treks in the Himalayan foothills. This trip takes you from Kasol's bustling cafe scene up the valley to Kheerganga, a high-altitude meadow known for its natural hot springs and sweeping views of the Parvati Valley. The trek follows the river through pine and deodar forests, crossing streams and passing tiny villages before climbing to the hot spring bath at the top. Days are split between walking and relaxing by the river, with evenings spent at cosy guesthouses and riverside cafes.

Kasol sits at the edge of the Parvati Valley, one of the most scenic corners of Himachal Pradesh, and the trail towards Kheerganga passes through Manikaran, famous for its hot springs and the Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara, before climbing into dense forests of pine, deodar and oak. The highest point of the trek, the Kheerganga meadow at around 3,050 metres, is dotted with small stone dhabas and a natural hot spring where trekkers soak away the day's climb. From the top, the views sweep down the whole Parvati Valley, with the snow peaks of the Pir Panjal range visible on clear mornings.

This Kasol tour package from Mumbai is designed as a slow, sociable journey rather than a race — short walking days, long lunches by the river and evenings around the campfire. The best season runs from March to November, when the trails are dry and the valley is green, and the trek is rated moderate, making it a comfortable first Himalayan trek for most travellers. Mumbai Weekenders handles the guesthouse and camping stays, the trek meals and the guides, so you can simply show up, lace up your trekking shoes and walk into the mountains.

Based in Himachal Pradesh, this moderate 5-day trek is best attempted during March, April, May, June, September, October, November — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.
