Himachal Backpacking, nestled in the majestic Himalayas, is a diverse haven of natural beauty and cultural vibrancy. The charming hill stations of Bir Billing, Kasol, and Manali offer unique experiences.
Bir Billing is renowned as India’s paragliding capital, providing exhilarating flights over scenic landscapes. It’s also a spiritual center with monasteries and Tibetan settlements, adding a serene touch to the adventure.
Kasol, nestled along the Parvati River, is a backpacker’s paradise. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and vibrant hippie culture, it’s an ideal gateway to explore the stunning Parvati Valley, hot springs, and trekking trails.
Manali, a popular destination, offers a mix of adventure and relaxation. From bustling markets to ancient temples, it’s a blend of traditional and modern experiences. Manali is also a gateway to the Solang Valley for skiing and snow activities in winter, and a base for exploring Rohtang Pass in summer.
All three places in Himachal Backpacking showcase Himachal’s distinct charm. The snow-clad peaks, lush valleys, and meandering rivers create a backdrop for thrilling adventure, serene spirituality, and a chance to connect with nature and local cultures

Things to carry
Day backpack (20 – 30 Ltrs): When you are on a local sightseeing tour, you are required to carry only a few necessary items and for that, you need a day backpack as you will leave your bigger one at your designated stay.
Floaters or Sandals: When you are spending your day at leisure, a good pair of sandals and floaters will help you to move freely.
1 Down Jacket / Main Jacket: It’s emphasized that you need to carry proper layers so you can avoid getting cold which is why you need to carry an insulated jacket that you can put on over your other clothes.
1 Pair of Thermal: Thermal is a piece of garment that helps in keeping your body warm in cold temperatures. It is a necessary item that you need when traveling to cold regions.
Outdoor Shoes: A comfortable shoe is required when traveling outdoors, especially in the mountains. They shouldn’t be chunky, instead, they should be lightweight and sturdy.
3 Quick Dry Tees: You must keep at least three pairs of quick dry tees so that you can wash them in between stops for proper hygiene.
3 Pair of Cotton Socks: Cotton socks are extremely comfortable to move around in and are lightweight as well which is why you can always count on a good pair of cotton socks while traveling. However, keep in mind to change them and avoid wearing them if they are moist.
1 Pair of Woolen Socks: A good pair of woolen socks, especially merino, are comfortable, limit odors and provide adequate insulation from the cold so you can wear them at night.
1 Poncho: A poncho is an evolved form of a raincoat that provides coverage to your body as well as your bag and ensures total water protection from rain.
Quick-dry towel: A quick-dry towel will help in maintaining proper hygiene. It must dry quickly because the wet fabric will only increase the chance of bacterial growth.
