ABOUT KHEERGANGA

In the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh nestles Kheerganga in the Parvati Valley of Kullu district. Kheerganga is a meadow at 2960m where Shiva is said to have meditated for 3000 years. The trek to Kheer Ganga is considered to be the most refreshing with invigorating views on your way up and post the climb you are rewarded with an experience that will make you forget all your pains and aches – a refreshing bath in the natural hot water spring. The natural hot-water-spring experience is something that you will remember for a lifetime, also for the holy River Parvati that surrounds the virgin forests of this place and gushes down mischievously through the verdant forests. The best time to visit Kheerganga is between the months of May and November when the weather remains pleasant and favourable. 

The precipitous valley road climbs past a side valley leading to the village of Malana and through the backpackers’ heaven of Kasol where will meet travellers from all around the globe. From here, the road leads to the Sikh and Hindu pilgrimage town of Manikaran. Next, you can a take a bus or a taxi to Barshaini. Barshaini is the last motor-able point and the starting point of the Kheerganga Trek. It starts from Pulga, where the construction of the Parvati Hydel Project, a hydroelectric dam, dominates the landscape. At Barshaini you can see the confluence of Tosh River and Parvati River.

As we reach atop the whole view and environment changes drastically and opens up into a flatland that is graced by the occasional tent, the few guest houses and cafes and the temple premises which also comprises of the hot water spring. Take a dip in the hot spring water after a long day trek to rejuvenate yourself. There is a separate bathing area for men and women, so it’s a good news for ladies who won’t get nasty looks, and for the shy travellers’ who can enjoy without getting conscious!! There is also a small Shiva temple near the springs.The hot springs at Kheerganga are extremely important for Hindu and Sikh pilgrims as well as many others who believe the waters have sacred healing properties. Kheerganga is a favourite with the hippies and off late, it has become popular with the Israelis.

There is a small Shiva temple and a hot spring water at Kheerganga. To sit alone in a hot spring bath atop a grassy and sunny hillside surrounded by forest, cliffs and the snow capped Himalayan mountains; it is an experience one couldn't seem to get enough of, and will certainly never forget.

Words fail to describe the beauty, the serenity, the calm, the peace… I bet if you come to this place once, you would love to come here second time as you can simply not get enough of such a place. The trek to Kheerganga, an adventurous journey into the world of nature’s beauty and serenity. It’s just like travelling to a different world.
