FAQ

How far is Kasol from Manali?

About 75 km, or 3 hours by road, down the Parvati valley to Bhuntar and up the Beas through Kullu.

Is Kasol good for families?

Yes, by day: the river walks, Chalal and Manikaran suit all ages. Kasol’s cafés get busy with backpackers in the evenings; we pick a quieter riverside stay for families.

Can we add the Kheerganga trek?

Yes. Kheerganga is a 12 km walk up from Barshaini to a meadow with a hot spring. It adds one night in a camp; see our Kasol, Tosh and Kheerganga trek.
