About The Trip

Break free from the monotonous work routine and embark on a revitalizing 3-day escape to the idyllic Himalayan havens of Kasol and Tosh. Nestled amidst the majestic peaks of the Parvati Valley, these charming villages offer a potent blend of breathtaking landscapes, exhilarating adventures, and soul-stirring experiences.

Kasol, the "Mini Israel of India," allures with its laid-back charm, vibrant cafes, and a unique cultural tapestry woven by the influx of Israeli tourists. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the Parvati River, embark on a gentle hike to the picturesque Chalal Village, or indulge in delectable Israeli cuisine. For the adventurous spirit, Kasol serves as a gateway to a plethora of thrilling treks, from the moderate climbs to Kheerganga and Grahan to the challenging ascents of Pin Parvati Pass and Sar Pass. Immerse yourself in the raw wilderness, conquer breathtaking peaks, and revel in the panoramic vistas that unfold at every turn.

This hidden gem offers a slower pace of life, pristine mountain air, and breathtaking views of the Himalayas. Trek up to the viewpoint and witness the majestic peaks of Papsura, Angduri, and Devachan pierce the sky, leaving you awestruck and rejuvenated.

Seek spiritual solace at the revered Gurudwara Manikaran Sahib, a beacon of harmony where Hindu and Sikh devotees converge. Immerse yourself in the divine energy that permeates the air, and find peace amidst the serene surroundings.While Kasol beckons year-round, the winter months from November to January paint the landscape in a magical blanket of snow, transforming it into a winter wonderland. Witness the glistening peaks, crisp mountain air, and the captivating beauty of nature in its purest form.
