Overview
Kullu's Bhuntar airport sits right at the mouth of the Parvati valley, which makes it the closest airport to Kasol: about 31 km and 1–1.5 hours. The road is narrow and follows the Parvati river through pine forest and small villages, so the drive takes longer than the distance suggests. It's the quickest way to start a Kheerganga or Tosh trek, or to reach Manikaran's hot springs a few kilometres beyond Kasol. Tell us your stay or trailhead, and we'll take you all the way.
