Hike in Parvati Valley: Tosh, Kasol, Chalal, Baladhi, Manikaran: Part 2/3

We checked out & started hiking down. It took around 30 minutes to hike down to the same entrance point of the village.

It was time to bid goodbye this lovely village. We had another hike today near Kasol, so we took a cab once again to reach Barshiani Bus stand to make it little easier. But I would strongly recommend for hiking down as the view here is so beautiful.

Another 2 hours bus journey from Barshiani takes us to Kasol. This time ticket was for 32/- per head.

We had our lunch at Little Italy & explored Kasol market..

Now it was time for our next hike. We headed straight to Kasol Bus stand, towards the Manikaran side of the stand; we found one alley on the left side just adjacent to the bus stand which is heading one metal bridge towards Chalal.

This is the starting point of the hike. It is relatively easy, beautiful& popular hike. It cuts through the woods & you have parvati river on one side. Everything was looking so perfect on a bright sunny afternoon.

After a hike of close to an hour we found a campsite name Mahadev River camp bang on the bank of Parvati River. As the sun was setting down, with the gushing parvati river beside the camp. Surrounding was looking magical, fabulous to say the least.

We decided to settle here for the night. This campsite has swiss-camp, small camp etc. with doable common toilet facility.

You can always join us & watch our journey here:

It was full moon night & we were having our dinner on the bank of river and guess what! Power went off at the campsite...

Stay tuned.. Part 3 is pouring soon..!!
