Kasol- A paradise in Himachal

Kasol, A paradise, sets in the centre of one of the very attractive place- The Himachal Pradesh. A very small town ,situated on the bank of Parbati river where one can walk in half an hour and touch the two ends of the place. The destination is 45 kms from Manikaran, a hot water spring and a Gurudwara .

On the very first sight of this place, anyone can simply roam through Kasol, but it is only after spending and investing time in exploring the place, one can realize how beautiful and serene place it is . The place can leave anyone in awe with its picture perfect view. The place has a balanced population between local Himachalis and foreign settlers, especially the Israelis.

In this delightful hill station , you can come across the forests of pines that border the village. One can also indulge in walking down the forests, climb the hills, trek to Manikaran through the rocky and streamy paths, enough to take only one foot at a time, The site of camping is very next to the river, which is icy cold, and the other is located higher up through the maze of roses.

Again when the palate is hungry, one can enjoy the options of pancakes and apple pies from the German Bakery in the village, of course the Indian dhaba is an unbeatable cuisine with stuffed aloo paranthas and hot chai, literally sniffing in the delicious aromas.

Kasol is very well known fro trout fishing , if one has the license , he or she can spend cool lazy afternoons fishing here. The green grass and clean white sand makes it a beautiful place. Kasol can be explored on foot and it is really a paradise for the wanderers.

Another quick gateway is Chhalal , is another pretty village 20 kms from Kasol .

One can reach Kasol though Bhuntar, 30 kms away or through Kullu which is 42 kms away. There are many local buses and taxi available to this place.
