Kheerganga Trek: Hiking the Himalaya of Northern India

In India, the Himalayas are a dream destination. Apart from the breathtakingly beautiful mountain ranges and landscapes, India also offers visitors access to its unique culture. 

I was intrigued and wanted to backpack in the Himalayas. After further research, I arrived at two potential trekking destinations – one was the Triund Trek at McLeod Ganj, and the other was the Kheerganga Trek at Kasol.

Choosing between the two was difficult, as I wanted to go for both. McLeod Ganj was all things pretty and picturesque, but Kheerganga had a natural hot spring atop it; that inclined me to go for the latter.

So, it was Kheerganga.
