More about Tosh
A terraced village at the head of the Parvati valley, an hour's walk (or a short jeep ride) above Barshaini, the road's end 20 km past Kasol. Quieter than Kasol, with snow peaks close and cafés with valley views; the base for Kheerganga is across the river.

“The whole weekend felt effortless. Our bus, hillside stay and cab were coordinated, and the flexible plan still left room for slow café mornings.”
