Introduction
The Kheerganga trek is a walk up the Parvati valley to a meadow with hot springs at the top, and until 2024 it was one of the most abused trails in Himachal Pradesh. Roughly 500 tents were pitched up there at the peak. The Forest Department pulled them all down.
That single fact changes how you plan this trek. Kheerganga is not a camping destination any more. It is a day walk with a time window, and the sooner you accept that, the better your trip will be.
The walk itself is still excellent. You go from Barshaini roadhead up through pine and deodar, past a waterfall, into a bowl of high meadow at the top with the Parvati river below and Khirganga National Park all around. And there are hot springs at the end of it, which is not something the Sahyadris can offer.
One more thing to clear up. Kheerganga and Malana are two different treks, in two different side valleys, with different access rules. Some topic lists merge them into one. They are not one.

| Roadhead | Barshaini |
| Distance | Sources disagree — see below |
| Duration | 4–5 hours up, 3–4 hours down |
| Difficulty | Easy to moderate |
| Protected area | Khirganga National Park (established 2010, approx. 710 sq km) |
| Camping at top | Banned by the Forest Department since July 2024 |
| Access window | Reach before 10 am, descend by 2 pm, per the Forest Department order |
| Overnight options | Nakthan, Barshaini, Kalga or Tosh |
On distance. The Tribune, reporting the Forest Department's route upgrade proposal, describes the Kheerganga trekking track as 13 km long. Indiahikes documents a Kheerganga-to-Barshaini segment of 7 km as part of a longer route. Most operators advertise 9 to 12 km. The variation comes from which route you take, where exactly you park, and whether the 2.5 km of rough road above Barshaini is counted as trail or road.
Plan for a walk of somewhere between 9 and 13 km one way. If someone quotes you a precise figure to the decimal, they are copying it from another blog.
On altitude. I could not find a Himachal government source giving a specific altitude for the Kheerganga meadow. Khirganga National Park's base altitude is given as 2,000 m on Wikipedia, with parts of the park reaching 5,500 m. The meadow is commonly cited at around 2,950–3,000 m, but that number does not come from an official source and I am flagging it as unverified rather than repeating it as fact.
The Camping Ban: What Actually Happened
In July 2024 the Himachal Pradesh Forest Department banned camping in the Kheerganga area of the Parvati Valley.
The reported facts, from The Tribune's coverage:
- Tents in the area had grown to about 500 by April 2024.
- Roughly 400 were removed by the operators themselves; the rest were removed by the department.
- A complaint had been received about large piles of garbage along the trek route.
- An NGO was engaged to run a self-sustainable waste management model.
- A barrier was to be installed at Icy Point on the Barshaini–Kheerganga trek route.
- Visitors must reach Kheerganga before 10 am and return before 2 pm.
- Overnight stays are permitted at Nakthan, Barshaini, Kalga or Tosh instead.
Praveen Thakur, Divisional Forest Officer of the Parvati Division, was quoted in that report: "the remaining tents were removed recently and camping had been banned, for the time being, to allow nature to heal." He added: "No compromise will be made with the environment in the name of mass eco-friendly tourism and violators will be dealt with strictly."
A correction on the paperwork. You will see this ban described online as an NGT order. The order I can verify is a Himachal Pradesh Forest Department decision, taken at Parvati Division level and reported in July 2024. I could not find an NGT judgment specific to Kheerganga. Some sources also attribute it to a High Court mandate; I could not verify that either. Do not repeat the NGT framing as fact.
What comes next. The department's stated plan is not permanent closure. Eco-friendly activities are to be allowed in line with a working plan approved by the central and state ministries, with preference for locals — particularly unemployed youth — to operate temporary accommodation units in a designated area, designed to blend with the surroundings and be uniform in appearance. Locals were advised to form an eco-tourism society or committee, with user groups trained in hospitality, rescue and guiding.
Separately, the Forest Department has sought around Rs 30 lakh to repair the 13 km track, with a proposal to build a jeepable road from the main road up to Nakthan and improve the trail beyond it, and to set up a check post to record trekkers for faster rescue.
So what is the position now? Camping at Kheerganga was banned "for the time being." A regulated, designated-zone replacement was announced but I could not find an official confirmation that it has been rolled out. Plan your trip on the assumption that Kheerganga is a day trek with a 10 am / 2 pm window, and verify with the DFO Parvati Division office or the Kullu district administration before you travel. If someone sells you a Kheerganga camping package, ask them to name the authority that permitted it.
Where Kheerganga Is
Parvati Valley, Kullu district. The valley runs east to west, from its glaciated head on the Spiti watershed down to Bhuntar where the Parvati joins the Beas, about 10 km south of Kullu town.
The road up the valley from Bhuntar passes Kasol and the pilgrimage town of Manikaran, and ends at Pulga, where the Parvati Hydel Project dam sits. Everything above Pulga is on foot. Barshaini is the practical roadhead for Kheerganga.
The hot springs at Manikaran and Kheerganga are both visited by Hindu and Sikh pilgrims. This is a pilgrimage route before it is a trekking route, and that matters for how you behave at the top.
Kheerganga sits inside Khirganga National Park, established in 2010, covering roughly 710 sq km in Kullu. Parts of the park reach 5,500 m, and Parvati Parbat at 6,632 m is the highest peak. The park is a critical watershed for the Parvati river and is prone to landslides and earthquakes.
Wildlife in the park includes Himalayan black bear, snow leopard, Himalayan tahr, musk deer and yellow-throated marten. Over 200 bird species live here, including Western tragopan, Himalayan monal and golden eagle. You will not see a snow leopard on the Kheerganga trail. You may well see a monal, and black bear presence is a real consideration for anyone in the forest at dusk.
One honest note on the valley. Parvati Valley has a documented history of foreign travellers going missing, going back to the 1990s. Wikipedia's Parvati Valley entry lists a long series of disappearances and attacks. This is not scaremongering about the trail itself, which is busy and well-walked. It is a reason to not wander off-route alone, not accept unsolicited guiding offers, and not go looking for the valley's other reputation.
How to Reach Kheerganga from Mumbai
Everything funnels through Bhuntar, then up the Parvati road to Barshaini.
By air to Bhuntar (Kullu–Manali Airport, KUU). The closest airport, and it sits right at the mouth of the Parvati valley. Flights route via Delhi, are small, expensive and cancel frequently in bad weather. When it works, you are at Barshaini in a few hours from landing.
By air to Chandigarh, then road. The reliable option. Mumbai to Chandigarh direct is roughly three hours. From Chandigarh, buses run to Bhuntar and Kullu; from Bhuntar take the Parvati valley bus or a taxi. This is a long day but it is a day you can count on.
By air to Delhi, then overnight bus. Delhi to Bhuntar or Kasol overnight buses are plentiful and cheap. Get down at Bhuntar and change, or take one of the direct Kasol services and continue from there.
By train. No useful railhead. Chandigarh is the terminus for practical purposes. Mumbai to Chandigarh by rail runs well over a day, which is why almost everyone flies this leg.
Bhuntar to Barshaini. HRTC buses run up the Parvati valley through Kasol and Manikaran to Barshaini. The road is narrow, the last stretch is rough, and the bus is slow. Shared taxis do it faster. Barshaini is where the road ends for buses.
How to Reach Kheerganga from Pune
Pune → Chandigarh → Bhuntar → Barshaini. Direct Pune–Chandigarh flights operate most days. From Chandigarh take a bus or taxi to Bhuntar, then the Parvati valley road. Two travel days.
Pune → Delhi → Kasol/Barshaini. Fly Pune to Delhi, then the overnight Volvo to Kasol. Cheapest total and the bus does the overnight for you. Kasol to Barshaini is a short hop the next morning.
Pune → Bhuntar via Delhi. Fastest on paper. Weather risk at Bhuntar is real and there is no plan B if the flight turns back.
Plan a night at Kasol, Barshaini, Tosh or Kalga before the trek. You need to be at the trailhead early enough to reach the top before 10 am, and that is not happening if you are still on a bus at 7 am.
The Two Routes: Nakthan/Rudra Nag vs Kalga
From Barshaini the trail splits. Both routes reach the same meadow. They are genuinely different walks.
The Nakthan and Rudra Nag route (right bank).
This is the main line and the one the Forest Department has been upgrading. You cross the bridge at Barshaini and follow the Parvati along its true right bank, through the village of Nakthan — a small settlement of stone-and-wood houses that has been on this route for a very long time.
Beyond Nakthan the trail climbs to Rudra Nag, a waterfall with a small shrine, which is the landmark everyone stops at. From Rudra Nag the trail steepens considerably and stays steep almost to the top.
This is the shorter, more exposed, more direct option. It is also the route with the chai shops, which is why most people take it. The Forest Department's Rs 30 lakh upgrade proposal, including the jeepable road to Nakthan and a trekker check post, applies to this line.
Take this route if you want the faster ascent and do not mind sun.
The Kalga route (left bank).
From Barshaini you head up towards Kalga and Pulga, then follow the left bank through denser pine and deodar forest before the two trails converge higher up.
It is longer. It is also shadier, quieter, and considerably more pleasant in May and June when the Rudra Nag side is baking. Fewer chai shops.
Take this route if you are going up in the heat, or if you want the forest rather than the crowd.
My recommendation: up via Kalga in the shade, down via Rudra Nag. You get the forest on the climb and the faster line on tired legs.
The Hot Springs
The hot springs are the reason Kheerganga has a name. They are a pilgrimage site, visited by Hindu and Sikh pilgrims, in the same tradition as the springs at Manikaran further down the valley.
There is a bathing tank at the top, fed by the spring, with a temple beside it. Historically there have been separate bathing sections for men and women.
On current status: I could not find any official Himachal government source stating that the bathing pool has been closed. The Forest Department's July 2024 order was about camping, tents and waste, not about the springs or the temple. The binding constraint on your visit is the time window — reach before 10 am, leave by 2 pm — not a closure of the pool.
That said, I am marking this as not independently verified. Facilities at the top have been in flux since the tents came down. Ask at Barshaini or Nakthan on the morning you go up.
Practical points if the tank is open. It is a religious site. Cover up, do not use soap or shampoo in the water, and do not treat it as a photo shoot. The water is genuinely hot and after four hours of climbing it is the best thing that will happen to you all week.
Itinerary
The day-trek version (the one that fits the rules).
Day 0: Reach Kasol, Barshaini, Tosh or Kalga. Sleep there. Day 1: Start walking by 5.30 or 6 am from Barshaini. Reach Kheerganga before 10 am. Hot springs, food, an hour or two at the top. Start down by 1 pm, out by 2 pm as the order requires. Back at Barshaini mid-afternoon.
That is a big day. Four to five hours up and three to four down, with a 10 am deadline at the top. It is completely doable if you start in the dark with a headtorch, and it is not doable if you start at 9 am.
The two-night version.
Night 1: Barshaini or Kalga. Day 1: Trek up, springs, descend to Nakthan and stay there. Nakthan is explicitly listed by the Forest Department as a permitted overnight village and it is well up the trail, so day two's descent is short. Day 2: Easy walk down to Barshaini, on to Tosh or Kasol.
This is the version I would take. Nakthan is a real village, the stay supports people who live on this route, and it takes the pressure off the timing.
Adding Tosh. Tosh is a separate village up a side valley from Barshaini, reachable by a short walk or a jeep, and it makes a good second night. Different valley, different view, no trek required.
Accommodation
At Kheerganga: none. Camping is banned. Do not book a tent at the top.
Nakthan. Small village on the main route with a handful of guesthouses and homestays. Basic. Explicitly listed as a permitted overnight option in the Forest Department order.
Kalga and Pulga. Quiet apple-orchard villages above Barshaini, both walkable from the roadhead. Guesthouses, cafes, and a much slower pace than Kasol.
Barshaini. The roadhead itself. A few guesthouses, convenient rather than charming. Best if you want the earliest possible start.
Tosh. The most popular of the four for backpackers, up its own side valley. More options, more people, better food.
Kasol and Manikaran. Further down the valley, the full range of stays. Manikaran has the gurdwara with its own hot springs and free langar, which is worth experiencing regardless of your faith.
Food
Chai shops and small dhabas operate along the Rudra Nag route in season. Maggi, rajma chawal, omelettes, chai, parathas. The Kalga side has fewer.
At the top, the situation has changed with the removal of the tents and the cafes that came with them. The Forest Department's stated plan is for regulated, uniform accommodation and eco-tourism units run by locals in a designated area, but I could not confirm what is operating at the top right now. Carry your own food for the day. Do not plan a meal around finding a cafe at Kheerganga.
Two litres of water minimum. There are streams on the route but treat or filter.
Carry your waste down. The garbage complaint along this exact trail is part of what triggered the crackdown, and an NGO has been brought in specifically for waste management here. Do not add to the problem you came to look at.
Nearby Attractions
- Manikaran Sahib — gurdwara and hot springs, with langar cooked in the spring water. On the road up from Bhuntar.
- Tosh — a side-valley village with big views, an easy add-on from Barshaini.
- Kasol — the valley's backpacker hub. Cafes, gear shops, and the place to sort logistics.
- Malana — a separate village and a separate trek up a different side valley, with its own customs and its own access restrictions. It is not part of the Kheerganga trek and should not be planned as one.
- Chalal — a short riverside walk from Kasol, good for a rest day.
- Great Himalayan National Park — the UNESCO-listed park borders this region and offers serious multi-day trekking.

Budget Breakdown
Two people, five days from Mumbai. Indicative.
| Item | Budget (₹) | Mid-range (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai–Chandigarh return flight (per person) | 7,000 | 11,000 |
| Chandigarh–Bhuntar return bus/taxi (per person) | 1,800 | 5,500 |
| Bhuntar–Barshaini return (per person) | 500 | 2,000 |
| Kasol/Tosh stay, 2 nights (per room) | 1,400 | 4,000 |
| Nakthan stay, 1 night (per room) | 800 | 1,500 |
| Food, 4 days (per person) | 1,600 | 3,000 |
| Local guide (optional, per group) | 1,500 | 2,500 |
| Buffer | 2,500 | 4,000 |
No official Kheerganga trekking fee is published on a Himachal government source that I could find. The Forest Department has proposed a check post to record trekkers, which may come with a registration process. Carry cash for anything charged at the barrier.
Practical Tips
Start before dawn. The 10 am rule at the top is the single hardest constraint on this trek and it forces an early start from Barshaini. Headtorch.
The 2.5 km of rough road above Barshaini can sometimes be covered by a local jeep, which saves an hour of dull walking. Ask at Barshaini.
Mobile network fades above Nakthan and is unreliable at the top. Kasol and Barshaini have signal.
Cash. There is an ATM in Kasol and it is frequently out of money. Draw cash in Bhuntar.
Shoes with grip. The Rudra Nag section is loose and steep, and the descent is where ankles go. Our trekking footwear guide covers what actually matters in a sole.
Leeches on the forest sections during the monsoon. Sahyadri trekkers already know the drill.
Do not buy or carry anything the valley is notorious for. Charas is illegal, enforcement in Parvati valley is real, and a foreign or out-of-state trekker is not a low-priority target.
Respect the shrine at Rudra Nag and the temple at the top. This is a pilgrimage route.
Safety Tips
Acute mountain sickness and acclimatisation. Kheerganga is lower than most Himalayan treks and this makes people careless. It should not.
I could not verify the meadow's altitude from an official source, but it is commonly placed around 2,950–3,000 m, and Khirganga National Park's base is given as 2,000 m. Whichever figure is right, you are climbing roughly a kilometre of vertical in a single morning, and if you flew into Bhuntar the previous day from Mumbai you have gone from sea level to near 3,000 m inside 48 hours.
That is enough for AMS to show up in some people. It is not a high-altitude trek in the Bhrigu Lake sense, but the "it's only Kheerganga" attitude is exactly how a Sahyadri trekker ends up feeling terrible at the top with a 2 pm descent deadline.
Symptoms to watch for: headache that water does not fix, nausea, no appetite, breathlessness at rest, dizziness, unusual fatigue.
What to do:
- Sleep a night at Kasol, Barshaini, Kalga or Tosh before you climb. All of these are well below the meadow and the night is genuinely useful.
- Drink three litres across the day. The dry pine air at altitude dehydrates you faster than you notice.
- Walk slowly on the steep section above Rudra Nag. Sahyadri pace on a kilometre of vertical is a bad idea.
- No alcohol the night before.
- If a headache is not clearing, turn around. You are heading downhill anyway; descent is the treatment and it takes three hours.
Black bear. Khirganga National Park has a documented Himalayan black bear population. The forest sections at dawn and dusk are when encounters happen. Make noise, stay on the trail, do not carry open food, and do not walk the lower forest alone after dark. The 10 am / 2 pm window is designed partly around daylight, and it works in your favour here.
Landslides. The park is described in its own literature as prone to landslides and earthquakes. The Parvati valley road is a landslide corridor in the monsoon. Road closures between Bhuntar and Barshaini are routine in July and August.
River. The Parvati is fast, cold and has killed people. Do not swim, do not wade for a photograph, and do not cross anywhere except the built bridges.
Weather. Cloud builds over the Parvati head in the afternoon almost daily. The descent-by-2-pm rule keeps you ahead of it.
Solo trekking. The trail is busy in season and following it alone is not the risk. The risk in Parvati valley is off-trail and off-hours. Read solo trekking risks and precautions and apply the same discipline here.
Injuries. Ankle rolls and slips on the descent are what actually happens on this trek. Common trekking injuries and immediate response covers the first ten minutes, which is what matters when you are three hours from a road.
Emergency: 112. The nearest hospital of any size is at Kullu. Evacuation from the upper trail is on foot. The Forest Department's proposed check post at the trailhead is intended precisely to keep a record of who is on the mountain for faster rescue — register if there is a register.
Common Mistakes
Booking a camping package at Kheerganga. Camping has been banned since July 2024. If an operator is still selling summit camping, ask them who permitted it.
Starting at 9 am. You will not be at the top before 10. The window exists and there is a barrier at Icy Point.
Confusing Kheerganga with Malana. Two different treks, two different side valleys, two different sets of local rules. Malana in particular has its own customs around what visitors may touch and where they may go. Plan them separately.
Attributing the ban to the NGT. It was a Forest Department order at Parvati Division level, reported in July 2024. Getting this wrong means you check the wrong authority for updates.
Doing it in peak monsoon. The Parvati valley road closes for landslides, the trail turns to mud, and the view at the top is a wall of cloud.
Carrying up food and carrying down nothing. The garbage on this route is documented in the Forest Department's own reasoning for the crackdown.
Assuming the cafes at the top still exist. They were removed with the tents.
Best Time to Visit
April to mid-June — the main season. Trail clear of snow, rhododendron lower down, comfortable walking weather. May gets hot on the Rudra Nag side by mid-morning, which is another reason for the early start and another argument for the shaded Kalga route on the way up.
Mid-June to early September — monsoon, and I would skip it. The Parvati valley road between Bhuntar and Barshaini closes repeatedly for landslides. Leeches on the forest sections. The meadow is in cloud. The hot springs are still hot, but you will have travelled two days for a wall of grey.
If you must go in monsoon, build two spare days into your trip for road closures.
Mid-September to early November — the best window. Post-monsoon skies, the valley at its greenest just after the rain and its clearest a few weeks later, thinner crowds and cold water in the streams. October is the pick.
Late November to March — snow. The upper trail carries snow and the meadow is under it. Winter Kheerganga is a real thing that experienced groups do, and the hot springs in snow are extraordinary, but the 10 am / 2 pm day-trek framing and the snow do not sit comfortably together. Not a first visit.
Wikipedia's Parvati Valley entry gives the broad pattern: cold season October to February, hot season March to June, rain July to September, with about 43 percent of annual rainfall arriving in the southwest monsoon and July the wettest month.
FAQ
Q: Is camping allowed at Kheerganga? A: No. The Himachal Pradesh Forest Department banned camping in the Kheerganga area in July 2024 after tent numbers reached about 500. Around 400 were removed by operators and the rest by the department. The ban was described by the DFO Parvati Division as being "for the time being, to allow nature to heal." Overnight stays are permitted at Nakthan, Barshaini, Kalga or Tosh instead.
Q: What are the Kheerganga trek timings? A: Per the Forest Department order, visitors must reach Kheerganga before 10 am and return before 2 pm. A barrier was to be installed at Icy Point on the Barshaini–Kheerganga route.
Q: Was the Kheerganga camping ban an NGT order? A: The order I can verify is a Himachal Pradesh Forest Department decision at Parvati Division level, reported in July 2024. I could not find an NGT judgment specific to Kheerganga, despite this being widely claimed online.
Q: How long is the Kheerganga trek? A: Sources vary. The Tribune describes the track as 13 km. Indiahikes documents a 7 km Kheerganga–Barshaini segment as part of a longer route. Operators typically advertise 9 to 12 km. Plan for four to five hours up and three to four hours down.
Q: Are the hot springs at Kheerganga still open? A: I could not find any official source saying the bathing pool has been closed. The July 2024 order concerned camping, tents and waste, not the springs or the temple. Treat this as unconfirmed and ask locally at Barshaini or Nakthan.
Q: Which route is better, Nakthan/Rudra Nag or Kalga? A: Nakthan and Rudra Nag is shorter, more direct, steeper and has the chai shops. Kalga is longer, shadier and quieter through pine and deodar forest. Go up via Kalga in warm months and come down via Rudra Nag.
Q: Is Kheerganga the same as the Malana trek? A: No. They are separate treks in separate side valleys of the Parvati region, with different routes and different local rules. Some topic lists wrongly merge them.
Q: Where does the Kheerganga trek start? A: Barshaini, the roadhead in the upper Parvati valley, reached by bus or taxi from Bhuntar via Kasol and Manikaran.
Q: Do I need a permit for the Kheerganga trek? A: No trekking permit is published on an official Himachal source that I could find. The Forest Department has proposed a check post at the route to record trekkers for rescue purposes. Carry ID and cash.
Conclusion
Kheerganga is a better trek now than it was in 2023. Fewer tents, less garbage, and a meadow that is being allowed to recover rather than being treated as a festival ground.
It is also a stricter trek. You start in the dark, you climb hard, you get your hot spring, and you come down. That is the shape of the day and there is no negotiating with it.
Do it as a two-day trip with a night at Nakthan. Go up through the Kalga forest and come down past Rudra Nag. Go in October. Carry your rubbish out.
And before you book anything, ring the DFO Parvati Division office or check with the Kullu district administration, because "for the time being" is doing a lot of work in the wording of that ban and it will change.
