The Kheerganga trek is for 1 Night/2 Days but, you can make the most out of the time to give yourself a long lasting experience of trekking.
The view of the sunset and trekking through Kheerganga forests are an unbelievable experience.
Barshaini is the last motorable point and thereafter vehicles are not allowed. Hiring a guide to reach Kheerganga trekking point is advisable to make the journey smoother.

After Rudra-Nag crossing bridge over Parvati River, the trail goes steeply for a while. The Kheerganga trek difficulty level is not that much and is mixed with the steep and moderate trek.
Once you reach the Kheerganga trek slope you can see the food tents and the temple. This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and there is a hot spring famous for its known healing purposes.
In this hot spring, one can take bath and feel relaxed during the trek.
Although the place is beautiful throughout the year, the best time to visit Kheerganga is between the months of May and November when the weather remains pleasant and pleasing.
Kheerganga Trek in December is not so busy trek, but truly amazing if you wish to witness the real calm Himachal.
Winter months are avoided for the trek, as the snow makes the trail difficult to walk and the rocks become slippery.
There is an ashram near the Shiva temple that offers basic accommodation and decent facilities. We also have organized campsites along the Kheerganga trekking routes.
