There is no dearth of scenic spots in Kasol, which means you’ll definitely come back with a lot of DPs and cover pictures. Your Kasol trip itinerary must include treks and treads to journey some amazing places near Kasol; such as Sar Pass, Yanker Pass, Pin Parvati trek, and Kheer Ganga trek. You might need to travel small distances in a jeep or a cab to reach the starting place. If a tough climb is not your style, take a walk to Chalal, which is just 30 minutes away from Kasol.

For a feel of the rural life in these regions, visit Malana or Tosh. An isolated village 21 km from Kasol, Malana is still untouched by the modern lifestyle. One of the oldest democracies of the world, Malana people claim that they are descendants of Alexander’s army, but the claim is highly debatable. Their descent, however, isn’t what makes this place so popular. It’s the Malana cream – premium hashish which is popular among Israelis, Europeans and Indian youth visiting Kasol. Rules of Malana residents are strict with respect to outsiders, but the village and its beauty are a sight to behold. Rocky terrains with pleasing greenery and rural homes are both charming and peaceful.
