Day 1: Delhi – Kasol | Begin the Kasol Trip
Distance covered – 488 km
Good Evening Folks!
How about a night out on the bus sounds? Crazy and exciting, right? Well, if it doesn’t then Hikerwolf promises to make that happen. Buckle up guys, a road trip from Delhi to Kasol awaits you this night.
It will be a mix of being ourselves as we hear some music and let the cold wind blow into our faces whilst we gawk at the beautiful scenery on the way and have fun with everyone, play some road games, and scream all our hearts out.
But with all the time in our hands, you’d better watch out as we’d be pulling each other’s leg and executing some really evil pranks and you will be out of luck if you fall asleep on our very first road-night-out.
The parade trip is unlike any other experience you’ve ever had, and adding along with our very own HikerWolf Tadka to it makes it even more special.
Day 2: Kasol – Manikaran | Hot springs of Manikaran, Kasol Tour
Distance covered – 39 km
While on the road, we’d be waking up to the crisp mountain air of Kasol. For those who thought magic was never real, here are the bewitching valleys that’d make you believe otherwise.
Relax after a long bus journey at our stay for few hours post breakfast. Freshen up and leave to explore Kasol & nearby attractions.
Barely a few kilometers from Kasol are the hot springs of Manikaran that overflows with stories and surrealness. Take a darshan at Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara if you’d like. If at all you are tired from the earlier trip, the hot springs will relinquish all of it. Getting clouded with steam, and chilling in the natural jacuzzi like the setup in the water that has eternally remained above boiling point.
After enjoying such a refreshing gift of nature, we head back to Kasol. Guys…. It's time to Chillax in the famous Israeli cafés of Kasol. Infamously known as the Hummus trail, the cafes around here are a complete feast to the taste buds!
For all the Shopaholics, we hit the local stores in Kasol, one of the prime shopper stops. Shop your hearts out what the locals sell the best, explore Buddha Monuments and Praying wheel; enrich yourself with their culture.
The cafe also offers nightlife, famous for being one of its kind. We Jam to some amazing indie music and dance our hearts out. Driving down while singing all those memories, we retire for the night at a stay in Kasol village.
Day 3: Kasol - Barshaini - Tosh | Drive through Barshaini, Trek in Tosh
Distance covered- 25 km
The outskirts of Kasol resonates with a joyful vibe with river bridges, wooden houses, and vivid orchards. For day 2, we would be driving through this beautiful village to our base camp near Barshaini and complete a mini trek to Tosh.
Enjoying and singing on 80’s classics accompanied by rustling wind in the woods with hardly anyone to hear us. Take your time to rejuvenate your soul and feel the freedom without worrying to find the right way.
We will also explore the beauty of Tosh, Kalga, and if time permits then nearby villages too on our foot which is as good as light trekking. Being with a bunch of travel enthusiasts, the energy of the journey will only increase as we try speaking the local language and share some laughter and feel pride,
There's one advantage that always tags along through these routes - Authentic Himachali cuisine. Having a full course thali dinner from here is enough to keep you coming back for more. With a happily bloated stomach, we wrap up Day 3 and kick up our feet at Kalgha.
Day 4: Kalgha - Kheerganga | Kheerganga Trek
Distance covered- 6.5 km
Finally, the D-Day is here! We're trekking up to the snow-dusted Kheerganga from the pristine greens of Kalgha. The Kheerganga trek is going to give you scares, the hanging bridges, rivers flowing right below calming your nerves, and a hill peak that is waiting to be conquered by our pack of Wolves!
Passing every kilometre will gravitate you to a pitstop. Be it for the 2-minute Maggi made in 5 minutes, or the warmest cup of chai. Everything becomes a lot more special when it's shared with a new bunch of crazy friends. The Kheerganga trek speaks for itself, the astounding views, the breezy chilly air and the pictorial view will set your spirits high and provide a refreshing mood.
You'd also lose count on the spam worthy pictures you'd click with the icy Himalayas in the backdrop and the hanging bridge. The peaks are home to a natural hot spring too, where you could take a leap or just dip your feet and let your tiredness flow into hot water.
Before climbing down we’ll proudly hold up our HikerWolf flag and click many groupies. After all the huff and puff of the trek, we all do deserve to boast a little. Here’s a few things that may not get captured on our camera though,
The fresh breeze on our faces and smiles so wide with all the jokes we’d never get tired of cracking. These will remain memories that’d be photographed in our minds forever.
Depending upon the weather conditions and the terrain ahead we descend slowly to our campsite; settling among the mountains becoming a part of them. Descending down the Kheerganga trek is much more fun when we have cosy views and jovial buddies with us. The campsite is suited to give you a feel of a chilly but cosy night, let's sing all the songs we can think of while we sit drink hot chocolate as night air brushes past.
Note: The difficulty level of Kheerganga Trek: Easy-Moderate
Day 5: Kheerganga - Kasol - Kullu - Dobhi | River Rafting and Sightseeing in Kullu
Distance covered - 77 km
Mornings in the mountains are even more magical, and we’d make sure you witness it in all its glory. You’d be waking up to our custom alarm of some totally out of tune singing, but we guarantee you that you’d thank us later for the breathtaking view.
Just two and a half-hour drive from the base camp is Kullu, where we’d make a stop for river rafting. Boost your adrenaline for the crazy white water river rafting and embrace the chilly water. Worry not, we won’t leave you shivering; savour some delicious tea and let the game going. We hit the local stores of Kullu, one of the prime shopper stops. Shop your heart out what the locals sell best, explore Buddha monuments and praying wheel; enrich yourself with their culture.
We leave for Dobhi where our adventure outside Parvati valley calls out to us. At Dobhi, the night remains young with round-the-clock partying. We will be showing off our best dance moves, as we play our favourite playlist for the night, making the craziest of videos that’d give us a walk down memory lane.
Thinking back on this Kheerganga & Kasol trip, this night would remain afresh simply because of the tons and tons of laughs we’d share.
Day 6: Kullu – Delhi | River Rafting, Paragliding, Sightseeing Kullu
Distance covered- 518 km
An adventure-packed day is what awaits you on the final day! Today we’re going completely off-road, quite literally. Trying our hand at aero and water sports, we explore the lesser explored inland regions of Himachal Pradesh.
Paragliding through the skies of Kullu and watching the entire hamlet from a bird’s eye viewpoint. Adventures at Kullu will sweep you off your feet and this is something we can vouch for. Be it 5 minutes or 15 minutes, you’d be left under the dilemma of not wanting to go back to the mundane routines.
Worry not, because the end is going to be even better with the final pinch of seasoning to the trip. We’d be halting at Kullu for a mini river rafter adventure.
Going with the rush of the white waters offers an unfiltered version of the glacial lands. With the occasional splashing of icy cold water and swerving through the rocks, it’s going to be the time of our lives!
After that party of screams and thrills, we bid adieu to Parvati Valley. Enjoying the bliss, we made in the past few days and in the hopes of meeting once again for yet another memorable journey, we drive back to Delhi.
Day 7: Kasol Trip Ends
We reach Delhi around 2 pm at Hazrat Nizamuddin. Until next time, we wave our goodbyes and make sure to remain in touch with the new friends who by now are no less than family.
