Kasol’s popularity as a holiday destination has grown in the past few years. From being one of the most well-kept secrets, it has slowly become a go-to vacation spot for many backpackers and holiday makers who are looking for an offbeat destination. You can’t go wrong in Kasol if you’re looking for a place with gorgeous views, mountains that surround the Parvati Valley and the lush greenery all around. But Kasol is not just about these amazing nature views. It’s a great party destination and anyone who has spent a New Year here will affirm that Kasol events are indeed something else altogether.
If you’ve been thinking that it’s not possible to have a fun, lively and vibrant party this deep in the mountains, think again. Kasol in particular, is famed for the psychedelic trance festivals that are organised here every year. Even if it’s not those particular events in Kasol, the New Year Parties here are also celebrated with a great deal of enthusiasm, music and excitement. Given its propensity for foreigners and a resultant ‘hippie culture’, Kasol festivals are something very different altogether.
One of favourite festivals in Kasol is the New Year party and there are more than a few different kinds that are celebrated here in this small Himachali hamlet. These often feature live DJ performances, stalls with a variety of tasty food and personal tents for overnight stays. These Kasol events are spread out across different venues.
A Kasol festival that draws all the youngsters is the Psytrance Festival that is held here in the midst of the dense Chalal forest. Psychedelic strobe lights, smoke machines, thumping music – a rave party in the middle of nature is something else indeed.
If you’re convinced you have to attend one of these events in Kasol, then do check the SOTC website for offers and deals on Himachal holiday packages.
