India’s snow-studded gem, Himachal Pradesh is in the Himalayan range. Several perennial rivers flow through the state. Also known as the “Dev Bhumi”, Himachal Pradesh is filled with beautiful valleys, jaw-dropping mountain views, scenic hiking trails, mystical rivers, and spiritual monasteries. In this journey with us, you will be visiting Kasol, Chalal, and Grahan. Filled with many beautiful trails and scenic views there is no reason you shouldn’t be embarking on this journey!
A small village in the district of Kullu, Kasol has gained fame in recent years for its hippie culture and Israeli population. There are many treks one can take from Kasol with a famous one being the Kheerganga trek. Kasol is known for its many cafes with a river view.
A hidden gem in the state of Himachal Pradesh is the village of Grahan. Grahan is 5-6 hours away from Kasol. The locals of Grahan are farmers who reap crops like potatoes, apples, and charas. The entire route from Kasol to Grahan is filled with beautiful views. It is 7,700 feet above sea level with only 50 houses and around 350 people. The houses are over 200 years old. The wooden houses, lush greenery, view of snow-capped mountains and fresh mountain air, Grahan is a very simple but beautiful heartwarming village.
