Kasol is a remote village in the Himachal Pradesh state of India. Unlike most of the hill stations of the north, it is secluded and perfect for a peaceful vacation. There are no great monuments here, but ample nature trails.
If you are seeking for an offbeat vacation, other than sightseeing, then you can indulge in the following activities in Kasol.

Kheerganga Trekking
The Kheerganga trek is on the to-do list of many experienced trekkers. The trek starts about 14 kilometers from Kasol and the trail leads to the hot water spring and a temple of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
We suggest trekking in a group and going on the trek only when you have some professional training or prior trek experience since there are handmade bridges and waterfalls on the way.
Here are some basic trekking tips for beginners.
Trout fishing
You can also indulge in the activities like trout fishing and camping in the natural surrounding of Kasol. There are several freshwater spring and river tributaries sprawling around the town. You can find yourself one, and start fishing. It is a great therapy for those seeking pause in a bustling lifestyle. Also note, if fishing is in your mind, take the equipment with you from home, you won’t find many fishing supplies in Kasol.
Please note, the Kasol valley also encounters occasional psychedelic retreats, so don’t hassle or take otherwise if you find something out of the league. You can also hire a cab in Kasol on day rental for your entire trip.
