The route in detail

Grahan is a small village of wooden houses at about 2,350 m in the Parvati Valley. The walk from Kasol covers about 8 km and takes around five hours, with the trail starting near the bridge in Kasol. The route is marked with signboards every fifteen minutes, so navigation is straightforward. The trail forks near the end, with a shorter but steeper option and a longer gentler one. The path passes through pine forest, over wooden bridges and past a waterfall. Grahan has no road access, so everything reaches the village on foot or by mule. Alcohol is prohibited in the village. The walking season runs from March to mid-July and from September to November. Grahan has almost as many homestays as houses, which is a measure of how small the village is. The trail is well defined, and if you have not seen a marker for half an hour you have taken a wrong turn. Kasol is the nearest town with shops and transport, and the walk to Grahan starts from the bridge at its edge. The village has homestays rather than hotels, and the accommodation is basic by design.
