Kasol, nestled in the serene Parvati Valley, serves as the final base camp for numerous treks in this enchanting region. The valley's allure has deep roots, dating back to when Israeli adventurers embraced the treks, establishing a community in the heart of India. This era also marked the introduction of Western music to India, as Israelis, adorned in Indian attire with dreadlocks, immersed themselves in the culture, playing Shiva mantras. Thus, Kasol earned its moniker as the 'Mini Israel of India,' a quaint fusion of cultures.

Rewind to 2009, and Kasol was adorned with just a handful of properties, a testament to its untouched charm. It wasn't until 2015 that Indians started discovering the allure of Kasol, and following the post-COVID era, the trekking industry experienced an unprecedented boom. Today, Kasol stands not only as a base camp for treks but as a melting pot of cultures, a testament to the harmonious blend of Indian and Israeli influences in this Himalayan haven.

With a decade of trekking experience in this valley and a home in Kasol, I've gained invaluable insights into the various trekking seasons, optimal visit times, and expert guides for different treks.

🌍 Discovering Serenity: From City Skylines to Himalayan Horizons 🏔️ Greetings, fellow wanderers! 👋✨ Join me on a journey that transcends the bustling cityscape to the tranquil embrace of the majestic Himalayas. I'm Mansi, a former city girl turned mountain dweller, and my heart has found its home amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Kasol, Himachal Pradesh. 🌄 City Girl Turned Mountain Maven Once a corporate nerd navigating the concrete jungles, my soul yearned for a different rhythm—one that echoed through mountain valleys and danced with the rustle of leaves. The call of the Himalayas beckoned, and I heeded, leaving behind the suits and skyscrapers for the allure of untamed wilderness. 🏞️ A Kasol Love Affair For the past four years, Kasol has been my sanctuary—a haven where the air is pure, the rivers run wild, and the mountains stand as silent witnesses to the unfolding stories of nature. Living in this Himalayan paradise has transformed my existence, offering a tapestry of experiences that only the mountains can weave. 🚶 Trekking Tales Embarking on treks through the Himalayan trails has become my routine, each step a celebration of the rugged beauty that unfolds with every ascent. Whether it's tracing the path to Kheerganga or conquering the heights of Malana, the mountains have become my playground, and every trek is a dance with the divine. 🏡 Riverside Bliss: My Slice of Paradise As fate would have it, my livelihood no longer hinges on the corporate ladder. Instead, I find joy in curating experiences for kindred spirits who seek solace in nature. Nestled by the riverside, I run a beautiful property in Kasol by the name of The Royal Orchard Kasol and also a small music cafe with instruments where one can come and jam like a community. 🌈 Join the Thatch Travel Community Embark on this journey with me as I share the wonders of mountain living, the thrill of treks, and the serenity of riverside living in Kasol.
