In Northern India, at the foot of the Himalayas, there is a natural gem conquered by travelers from all over the world.

The town of Kasol is located in the Parvati Valley. The town serves as a central destination for trackers, and as an exit point to visit one of the dozens of small villages scattered around.

Staying in Kasol is very cheap, but not luxurious; those coming to Kasol can choose to stay in simple rooms in one of the local guesthouses.

The food in North India is excellent, and the restaurants in the town offer delicious Indian food alongside western food like pasta and pizza for those who miss home.

Parvati Valley is not dangerous, but it is not as safe as other places in India. Travelers are required to keep precautionary rules, mainly since some of the areas around the villages are controlled by illegal businesses including drug trafficking, and since the tracks in the area can be challenging and dangerous in themselves.

Kasol is reached by a local bus only, and the journey can be difficult and long, so you should prepare well for it. The recommended season to visit Kasol is from June to September.
