Sometimes you want to just get away from the city life and lose yourself in a trance. Walk with no destination in mind and chance upon a hidden village. Sit in surroundings so beautiful that you lose yourself and end up watching the sun rise and set from the same spot. Drink from fresh water streams and party with the people from some untouched villages in their style.
Kasol is the Place where you lost yourself to find your innerself. May be it is due to the magic in the air of kasol or may be its a lusting smell of the magical thing(HASH).This place is blessed by nature.
So here i will tell you my experience of 4 days in kasol,Tosh and Kheerganga.
How to reach Kasol:
To begin with, there are no direct buses from Delhi to Kasol. It is approximately 12-14 hour travel from Delhi to Bhunter. Buses are easily available from Delhi ISBT, Kashmere Gate. For ordinary buses you can make on the spot booking though I’ll suggest you reach an hour early to the time you want to start; for Volvo (cost ~1300rs) you have to make prior bookings as there are few buses with heavy rush and bookings can be done through makemytrip, redbus etc. or best HRTC. On Friday evening after office, I reached by 6.30pm at ISBT. Starting off at around 8pm in an Volo bus for Kullu/Manali, I got down at Bhuntar after roughly 12 hours journey. Bhuntar is at the bifurcation of the roads leading to Kullu Valley and Parvati Valley. All along the journey you’ll get beautiful scenic views of the mountains and a lot many Hydropower projects.
Local buses are the best means of transport in such areas as they are easily available, quite frequent and pretty cheap.From Bhunter, every 15 mins a local bus goes to Kasol, which is close to 1.5 hour travel and costs INR 50 per person. Frequency ensures getting a seat and is not very crowded. Alternatively, you can take a cab which takes about an hour and charges INR 900 upto INR 1350 as per the car and number of persons.
