The Meadow with Hot Springs
Kheerganga's fame rests on a simple, wonderful promise: trek up a forested gorge and end the day soaking in natural hot-spring pools on an open meadow, with Parvati valley peaks all around. It's the valley's rite-of-passage walk.
The Route
From Barshaini, twin trails via Kalga or Nakthan village climb 11–12 km along the Parvati river, past waterfalls and cafés, to the Kheerganga meadow at 9,700 ft. Camps and basic huts operate in season; regulations on the meadow change periodically, so check current camping rules.
Best Time and Difficulty
Walkable most of the year; spring and autumn are ideal, winter brings snow charm with care, and peak monsoon means slippery trails. Easy grade with a steady climb — perfect for first-timers and Kasol travellers.
