To escape the stress of your daily life do a short trip to Kasol and get lost in nature. There are so many things to do in Kasol.
Here I have jotted down the 5 Amazing Things to do in Kasol:
1. Take a walk by Parvati River
Nothing can be more quiet and nice by doing a nature walk near the Parvati River. The chirping sound of birds, splashing roars of the river, and looming pine trees on the sides is something that will make you stay longer in the amazing surroundings.
The separated white sand and lush green grass in the blue-green waters of the river is great to see the colors of water. Every bend or turn opens to a wide landscape of pine trees, waterfalls, and high cliffs. The clear blue skies with the companion of snow-laden peaks offer scenic vistas of nature.
It is advised to cross the river by crossing an old wooden bridge, the Parvati river has a greater mass of water and flows fiercely. Relax and enjoy your afternoon by pitching a tent near the river and dip your feet in the cold water for a pleasant experience. Take pictures on amazing sites and feast your eyes with the best of nature. Cherish the memories for a lifetime.
