What to Expect

Yes a 10 day trip to Parvati Valley & Kasol, originally the trip used to be for 12 days back in 2013 but we skimmed it down to 10 and if your really looking to get a hippie backpacker experience then this trip is the one. 

It’s the complete bundle when it comes to a backpacker experience from hiking around village & then to a hot spring at Kheerganga. Living the junkie vibe in Tosh & Pulga along with a day trip to the village of Taboos Malana. This is indeed the only trip to Parvati valley where you feel you have been on holiday. Not that the other trips are bad it’s just the fact that 10 days in the valley is about the optimum time you need to spend in the valley to get a real feel of the place.  

  • Best Season: All year
  • Internet: Excellent 4G
  • ATM: Unreliable (carry cash)
  • Must Do: Hime to Kheerganga
  • Must Eat: Snicker Chappati
  • Temperature: 7 to 20°C
  • Driver Lead
