5 things to know before you go
- 01
Kasol is a tiny Parvati Valley village — the trek culture is real but the drug culture is equally real; know what you're walking into.
- 02
The Kheerganga hot spring trek (13km one way) is the single reason most people come — start at 6am.
- 03
Kasol village itself takes 2 hours to walk end to end; the charm is the river, the cafés, and the pine forest.
- 04
Israeli-influenced food scene is excellent — hummus and shakshuka at 2,000m are genuinely good.
- 05
Mobile signal disappears 2km past Kasol; download offline maps and tell someone your itinerary.
