Overview
Chandigarh to Kasol is roughly 280–300 km and 7–9 hours. It follows the Kiratpur–Manali highway up the Beas valley as far as Bhuntar, then turns into the Parvati valley for the final 31 km to Kasol. That last section is narrow and slow, around an hour, and it's where the trip changes character: pine forest, the rushing Parvati river, and Manikaran's hot springs just beyond Kasol. Tell us if you're starting a trek (Kheerganga, Tosh, Malana) so we can drop you at the right trailhead.
Usual route: Kiratpur–Manali highway to Bhuntar, then the Parvati valley road
