The Trail and Landscape: The Kheerganga trail is a dynamic mix of terrains. It winds through dense pine and oak forests, offering ample shade and a rich canopy. You’ll navigate rocky paths, muddy stretches (especially after rain), and well-trodden dirt trails. The constant companion is the roaring Parvati River, visible and audible throughout much of the ascent, with several small streams and waterfalls cascading down the hillsides. Lush green meadows open up periodically, providing stunning vistas of the valley and distant snow-capped peaks, creating a truly immersive Himalayan experience.

Along the trail, you’ll encounter quaint Himachali villages like Kalga, Pulga, and Tosh, traditional wooden houses, gushing waterfalls, and vibrant flora. The trek itself is a visual treat, with the sound of the Parvati River accompanying you for much of the journey. There’s also a small Shiva temple at the top, adding to the spiritual ambiance.
