About the Trek

 

The Kheerganga Trek is one of the most popular short Himalayan treks in Himachal Pradesh, offering an exciting combination of dense pine and deodar forests, beautiful mountain trails, waterfalls, traditional Himalayan villages, and the spectacular landscapes of the Parvati Valley.

Starting from Barshaini near Kasol, the trek takes you through the scenic Parvati Valley towards Kheerganga, famous for its natural hot springs and peaceful mountain surroundings. Along the trail, trekkers can enjoy beautiful views of the Parvati River, forested slopes, traditional villages and dramatic Himalayan landscapes.

The trek is considered suitable for beginners with reasonable fitness, although the trail involves a long uphill walk and uneven, rocky sections. The Kheerganga trail is approximately 12–14 km one way from Barshaini, depending on the route and current trail conditions. The highest point is around 2,960 metres (9,700+ feet).

The Kheerganga experience is not only about reaching the destination; it is about walking through the peaceful Parvati Valley, experiencing the Himalayan atmosphere and enjoying the natural beauty of Himachal Pradesh.

 

Important Current Update

Overnight camping at Kheerganga is currently prohibited. The trek should therefore be planned as a day trek, with overnight accommodation arranged at permitted locations such as Barshaini, Kalga, Nakthan or nearby areas. Local forest and trek-entry regulations may change according to government orders, weather and trail conditions.
