Quick Answer: What is Kasol and why is it worth visiting? Kasol is a small village in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, situated in the Parvati Valley at 1,580 metres above sea level alongside the Parvati River. Known as the Mini Israel of India, it is one of India's most popular group travel destinations for backpackers, trekkers, and nature lovers. Kasol is famous for its riverside Israeli-style cafes, its role as the starting point for the Kheerganga, Sar Pass, and Pin Parvati Pass treks, and its proximity to Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara (4 km away) with sacred natural hot water springs. The Chalal village walk (25 minutes from Kasol), the Parvati River, and the village's vibrant hippie market are top highlights. Best visited between March–June or September–November. Delhi to Kasol is approximately 520 km, 12–13 hours by overnight road.
