Okay, here's the deal

Come for the mountains.Stay for what they do to your brain.

Worth the early wake-up.

The Kheerganga Trek is one of the most popular beginner treks in Himachal Pradesh, winding through the breathtaking Parvati Valley from the village of Barshaini. The 12–13 km trail passes through dense pine forests, wooden bridges, ancient villages, and the thundering Rudra Nag waterfall before reaching the natural hot springs of Parvati Kund at 9,711 ft. Kheerganga is named after the milky-white sacred water of its hot spring, believed since ancient times to be blessed by Lord Shiva. The views of the Parvati River and surrounding snow-capped peaks are spectacular throughout. At the top, soak in the geothermal Parvati Kund pool and camp under one of the most star-filled skies in the Western Himalayas. An ideal first Himalayan trek for backpackers and adventure seekers.

The good stuff

Things you'll probably talk about later.

The views, the random conversations, the tiny moments that somehow become the whole point of the trip.

05Starlit camping at 9,711 ft

How this thing goes

One day at a time.

No speed-running the mountains. No checking boxes just because they're there.

Just a trail, good people, questionable amounts of chai, and enough time to actually be there.
