Kheerganga Trek is very famous for Treks near Kasol. The distance travelled is also not that much. Kasol to Kheerganga does not include very steep climbs.
Weather
The major merit of this Trek is that the weather is really pleasant throughout the year. But the ideal time to explore the wilderness of this place is during spring that is from March to May.
As this time of the year, the trees regenerate new leaves and the view is just awesome. The temperature during these months varies from 15- 22 degree Celsius.
The view of the tosh valley Trek during these months is marvellous.
Kheerganga in December is inhabitable due to heavy and frequent snowfall and cold and dry winter winds make it a little difficult to explore the tosh valley Trek.
Anyone who wants to live and experience the true essence of Kasol without being bothered by noisy tourists must plan to go to Kheerganga in December or January.
And, the way locals will treat you when there aren’t many tourists is worth noticing.
