Day 1

PLAN - PARVATI VALLEY from Delhi
DURATION- 3D &2N
Started my trip From Delhi(18:15) and reach Kasol on next day morning (7:00)(750rps) ,after getting freshand small trip to kasol and the took  Himachal roadways bus (around 9:30AM ) to manikaran.
At Manikaran - There is a Gurudwara within the lap of Mountains  ,Hot spring water and River parvati flowing beside the Gurudwara. All these makes a completely wonderful scene that for sure to be remembered for long time.
And  there is Lunger service providing Free 3 time Food. U can also have  hot water bath there and have food.
After having lunch there we headed towards Barsaini . This place is famous for old shiva temple called Barsaini temple, and the last stop for bus services.
From Barsaini bus stop we have taken some fruits ,water bottle and shoes ( snow Trekking shoes)
Becoz u can't trekkin without them. As said by local shopkeeper. But aisa nhi h ...
Starting point of Kheerganga Trek is about 1.5 km from Barsaini bus stop ,till there u have to go by foot .
At around 1:40 PM we have started our Trekking to Kheerganga  via Nakthan and RudraNaag.
Initially 2Km  trek  is not so easy as it is very steep and very exertional . After reaching Nakthan which is about 3 Km from starting point ,we had Juice and Maggie , as it's already very late we had to Trekking faster so ,we started again and reach RudraNaag around 4:30 PM.
RudraNaag is Teerth place of lord Shiva.
The real trekking starts from RudraNaag as it is very steep and full of black ice on the way.
It's took us 1 hrs to reach icing base camp and it's already dark outside. So trekking became more difficult and took around 1.5 hrs more to reach Kheerganga top .
The view of Kheerganga top will give feeling that ur heart will will say it's worth it to up to here ,snow all over there. And the musical flow of river Kheerganga will give u goosebumps.
Temperature in night became -7 ' c  and it's freezing cold out there .
We took a sharing tent at 1000 rps per person including welcome tea , dinner and breakfast
( However the price is around 5-600 in Summer).
