How to reach Chalal from Kasol
Barely 2 km away, the trek from Kasol to Chalal is quite a simple one which may even be undertaken by those unfamiliar with the terrain or new to trekking. The trail begins after one crosses the suspended bridge over the magnificent Parvati river. Crossing this bridge can be a little daunting for those new to the area, but it is possible and is worth the heart-pounding feeling. Once the bridge has been crossed, there is a trail that is used by the villagers and hikers to travel between the two villages. Follow the trail and stick to the narrow left path along the river that leads into the dense forest of towering pine trees, which open up to the entrance of this enchanting village. The whole route is gorgeous, with a great combination of the delightful Parvati river flowing against the backdrop of the magnificent pines that cover the spectacular mountains. Wooden guest houses can be seen around the valley as one treks, transporting hikers to a simpler and lost time. The huge rocks by the banks of the river form the perfect spot to chill out during the trek and take in the wonderful landscape before arriving at the picturesque rustic village.
