Kheerganga

                             Kheerganga

 

With an imperfect to perfect touch of everything God can endow a land with, Kheerganga is a small village in the lap of Parvati Valley. The village is best known for its trekking trips where that feeling of accomplishment is way above the exhausting nature of the trek. The trek starts from the base camp of Tosh, from where it is 13 kms one way which takes up to 6-7 hours.
Far away from the cage of modern life, people here rejoice the beauty the land offers. You must have heard of the hot springs with medicinal properties? Well it’s here in Kheerganga, where just a dip can not only rejuvenate your sense but relieve you from pain, as said and believed by the people around.



Malana

  A prehistoric village in the state of Himachal Pradesh, Malana is best known for its serene and outlying environment from rest of the world, and of course the controversial cannabis. It’s a place that’s really not that accessible because the people of Malana like to consider themselves a superior race (descendant of Alexander the Great). However, as you hear your friends talking about the place you will surely be attracted. People living in Malana lead a simple and extraordinary life at the same time, where they speak in Kanashi, a language different than what usually is spoken, celebrating its own festivals like Malana Fulgi mostly in the second week of February and Malana Shaun on 15th August.

 

Kullu and Manali

 

Mountains that touch your soul and the sky is the best description of Manali. Laying 40 kms away from Kasol, Manali is a magical land in itself at an altitude of 2050 m. Lyrical air, scenic views will be your partners throughout as you travel to places like Solang Valley, Beas Kund, Pandoh Dam in Kullu. The greenery, silence and serenity will embrace you as you tread towards Rohtang Pass, feeling cold already? You can and have to rent clothes as the place is too cold to handle but fun to be in as well. It’s also one of the best honeymoon destinations as warmth of love is in the air. Spend an afternoon rafting with your family and soar high in the sky by paragliding.
