01 Night & 02 Days · Couple Special with Decorations
Trek Distance: ~11 km
Time Required: 4-5 hours
Trail Type: Shaded, dense pine forests, streams, and steeper sections.
10:00 AM – Arrival at Barshaini: Reach Barshaini and have a hearty breakfast at one of the local cafes, buy any last-minute snacks, water bottle or rent a trekking pole and shoes if needed.
11:00 AM – Start the Ascent: Cross the bridge near the Parvati Dam site and take the right-hand trail towards Kalga Village. After passing Kalga, the trail dives deep into thick pine and deodar forests. This route is highly recommended for the ascent because it is well-shaded from the afternoon sun and offers a quieter, more immersive nature experience.
01:30 PM – Mid-way Cafe Halt: You will find small wooden cafes tucked into the forest. Stop for a quick lunch (Maggi, local tea, or fresh juice) to boosts your stamina. After 30-40 minuts the trails from Kalga village and Nakthan village merge for the final 3-4 kilometers. This stretch becomes significantly steeper, muddier, and features a few massive rock patches and narrow ridges.
04:30 PM – Reach Kheerganga Top: As the trail flattens out, you’ll open up to the beautiful, wide meadow of Kheerganga surrounded by misty mountains. Check into your campsite.
The Hot Springs & Sunset: Head straight to the famous Parvati Kund (natural hot water springs). Taking a dip here instantly melts away all your trekking fatigue. Afterwards, catch a stunning sunset over the valley.
08:00 PM onwards – Dinner & Stargazing: Enjoy a warm dinner at the campsite, relax by a bonfire, and enjoy the clear night sky before sleeping in your tent.
Trek Distance: ~12 km
Time Required: 3-4 hours
Trail Type: Open valley views, waterfalls, village trails, and a gradual descent.
06:30 AM – Sunrise & Breakfast: Wake up early to catch the crisp mountain morning air and see the sun light up the snow-capped peaks. Grab a hot breakfast at the camp.
09:00 AM – Begin the Descent: Pack up and start heading back down. To complete the loop, take the Nakthan Village / Rudranag route for your descent.
10:00 AM – Stop at Rudranag Waterfall: You will reach the magnificent, serpent-shaped Rudranag Waterfall and Temple. It’s an incredible spot to take photos, rest your knees, and enjoy the roaring sound of the water.
11:30 PM – Pass through Nakthan Village: Continue downhill through Nakthan, a traditional Himachali village filled with beautiful wooden houses and open apple orchards. You can stop at a local cafe here for a quick snack or cold drink.
01:00 PM – Return to Barshaini: Cross back over the iron bridge across the raging Parvati River to arrive back at the Barshaini dam site, completing your trek circuit.
