Hi Tanmay, Himachal Pradesh is going through some government face-lifting. Hotels, campsites and restaurants have been shut down in Malana and Kheerganga. I'd advice you look at alternate options in Himachal like Dharamshala/McLodganj, Kinnaur Valley or Spiti Valley. July and August are monsoon months in Himachal. Therefore, it is best to wait till September.
Hello Varun,
Thanks for the information. Frankly speaking this is the first time I am going there and I want to visit the Malana village. As you know the reason and again because of the good atmosphere. So how to manage to visit theat village too. Are the other places also good like kheerganga?
This 5-day Himachal Pradesh itinerary will help you plan your solo trip to Parvati Valley
Day 1: Bhuntar - Malana
Bhuntar airport is the base to get to all the amazing places tucked away in the hills of Himachal. Malana is just a 1 hour 30 minute drive from Bhuntar airport. The sleepy, quaint village is known for its quiet ambiance and spectacular views of the Deotiba and Chandrakhani peaks. Remember that the locals dont appreciate loud and touristy travelers so behave yourself and dont act like you are in Goa. This village, like most parts of Himachal Pradesh, is meant for those looking for some peace, quiet and marijuana. Where to stay:
There are a few modest guesthouses in Malana for tourists. You can take a walk and check out the ones available.
Where to eat:
There are very basic local restaurants/dhabas at Malana that serve simple food. Dont expect anything too fancy here. Day 2: Malana Kasol
Kasol-Dilip-Merala
After chilling out for an entire day and night at Malana, leave for Kasol the next morning. The scenic 50-minute drive takes you thorugh the lovely winding hill roads of the region. Kasol, an extremely popular spot now thanks to the media coverage it has received, has become quite commercial. However, if you move away from the main square and head towards the river, you can find peaceful accommodation and enjoy the spectacular hillside views. Spend the day relaxing and enjoying the views getting high on life! Where to stay:
There are a number of hotels, guesthouses and hometsays in Kasol. You can try the Alpine guest house (01902 273710) starting at Rs 600 a night. Where to eat:
The Evergreen, Jim Morrison cafe, and Little Italy are popular restaurants in Kasol. CHECK OUT 10 pictures show backpacking in Himachal Pradesh is the best thing to do in May! Day 3: Kasol Tosh
After a relaxing night in Kasol, it is time to move on. Take a 60-minute drive to the beautiful village of Tosh and then take a walk inside this village to get a hang of local life in the valley. You will fall in love with the ambiance and the surrounding views in less than five minutes. Book your stay at a place from where you can get a good balcony view. Spend the rest of the day just chilling out and enjoying local village food. The weather here will make you feel at ease and calm your nerves before you even know it. Sometimes, Tosh also hosts an amazing party with psychedelic music attending by several Israeli tourists as well as locals. If you are lucky enough to be at this party, it will an experience of a lifetime. Where to stay:
There are a few guesthouses all along the village of Tosh. You can check each one out as you walk and pick one of your choice. The Mountain goat (+91-8527202757) is a good option with rooms starting at Rs 500 a night. Where to eat:
Your hotel (like The Mountain Goat Cafe) will have food arrangements. You can enjoy hot vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes as you gaze at the stunning snow-clad peaks and green valleys. Day 4: Tosh Kheerganga
After an entire day and night at Tosh, you have relaxed enough. You can now take off on an adventure. Go for the simple four-hour trek which begins at Barsheni (the base). Vehicles ply between Tosh and Barsheni throughout the day. You will trek right in the middle of the lush green Parvati valley and as you climb through the terrain, you will hear soothing bird sounds when you are not hearing peaceful pin-drop silence. You will feel on top of the world when you finally reach Kheerganga as you see breathtaking views of the surrounding snow-clad peaks. Here, you can also take a dip in the natural Jacuzzi formed by the hot water springs. Imagine the feeling when sit in your hot water pool as you gaze at the mesmerizing mountains around you! Where to stay:
There is a Dharamshala Saray here which offers rooms at Rs 150 a night. If it does not have any vacant rooms by the time you get here, you can try one of the other little guest houses. Accommodation is modest at Kheerganga but it is no problem as you do not need any luxury when you are in such a magical setting. Where to eat:
There are a couple of local dhabas and restaurants which offer simple vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. DONT MISS 10 cheapest destinations for backpacking in India Day 5: Kheerganga Manikaran - Bhuntar
