If you want to avoid the crowd and find some peace with nature, this is the best time to trek to Kheerganga. Right before the onset of rains the valley gets enough sunlight during the day and is chilly at nights, making it apt for an 11km trek through the beautiful village of Pulga and Malana to Pin Parvati (Kheerganga). The starry sky and the glittering range will make you feel alive after the treacherous trek. Carrying tents is a good idea.

Camp for a night at Kheerganga for a night sky view is worth the effort.

Kasol may not be the best place during rains but one can rent rooms for as low as 100/- INR a day at villages like Tulga, Pulga, Kalga and even Tosh. Enthusiast can find much more to do than just sitting in their café rooms.

If you have access to a kitchen you could make your own food from the naturally growing fruits, berries and herbs there; all you need to do is find a bakery for that fresh loaf to go with your freshly made ratatouille. One could also make tea from the wild strawberries or some pancakes using the fresh fruits plucked from the forest.

The rains are followed by shrill winters that slow down most of the towns in the valley. Some locals have dual business and they travel to Goa for the winters, so most of the cafes are closed for this period and the population of the valley is slashed to half. Villages close to Tosh and above are covered with snow by December end and it stays white till February. This is the best season to enjoy bonfires and solitude in the valley.
