Detailed Overview 

The Unseen trail, with one day in Kasol and Grahan each, is a perfect getaway for beginners looking for an adventurous trek in the lower Himalayas. Widely popular for its dense pine forests, natural hot water springs (Manikaran), Grahan waterfall, short hikes and the valley’s natural beauty, Grahan gives the travellers an opportunity for a peaceful retreat. The crisp mountain air coupled with delicious Himachali & Israeli food with the smell of burning herbs coursing through the otherwise unpolluted air makes Kasol the so-called “Amsterdam of India”.
