Tour overview

Everything you need to know

The Kheerganga Trek is a practical first overnight trek in Parvati Valley. Routes from Barshaini pass through forest, small settlements and waterfall sections before climbing to the upper meadow. Its popularity does not remove the normal mountain risks: rain can make paths slippery, daylight fades quickly in forest and accommodation conditions change. Starting early, carrying back waste and following local closures are essential parts of a responsible trip.
