Every now and then people ask us a common question on visiting Kasol, &#8220;How to make a budget trip to Kasol in Parvati Valley?&#8220;. Well, we thought, why not write an article to explain this topic of Kasol budget trip in detail.<\/p>\n<p>Kasol, <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/parvati-valley-detailed-travel-guide\/\">nestled in Parvati Valley<\/a>, is the dream place to go to for all travelers, young and old alike. However, it is always a concern on how to manage the cost of a Kasol trip. It becomes especially difficult if you&rsquo;re a college student or even a young working professional without much savings.<\/p>\n<p>Here I want to tell you that it is TOTALLY doable. Yes, you can make a budget trip to Kasol ane enjoy it equally at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>So, how can you plan a cheap trip to Kasol?<\/p>\n<p>Planning a Kasol Budget Trip<\/p>\n<p>There are several factors involved in the cost of Kasol trip or as a matter of fact any trip to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Himalayas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Himalayas (opens in a new tab)\">Himalayas<\/a>. These factors mainly include:<\/p>\n<p>The Itinerary &#8211; Number of days you are planning to travel to Parvati Valley and the starting point\/place of your trip.Traveling Costs &#8211; What is your mode of transport to travel to KasolAccommodation Costs &#8211; Which type of hotels you plan to stayFood Costs &#8211; What type of food you eat and especially where you eat that foodMiscellaneous Costs &#8211; Shopping &amp; Entertainment Expenses (optional)<\/p>\n<p>So, with this break-up in mind &ndash; let&rsquo;s understand how to budget for a <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/trip-to-kasol-travel-guide-backpacker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Kasol road trip (opens in a new tab)\">Kasol road trip<\/a> while also ensuring the maximum bang for your bucks.<\/p>\n<p>I will outline an example which will be a mix and match approach of using public transport in Parvati Valley as well as the shared tourist\/public taxis. I will also try to share the other available options in different sections of your Kasol budget trip. <\/p>\n<p>Itinerary for a budget trip to Kasol<\/p>\n<p>As the number of days plays a vital role in the cost of any trip, let us consider a sample itinerary of Kasol trip that I will use as an example. I have already shared the article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/parvati-valley-most-common-itinerary\/\">most common travel plan of Parvati Valley<\/a>. However, for this article, I will consider a 5-day itinerary for Kasol budget trip.<\/p>\n<p>Day 1 | Reach Kasol from Delhi \/ ChandigarhDay 2 | Relax in Kasol &#8211; Hike to Chalal VillageDay 3 | <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/kheerganga-trek-travel-guide-beginners\/\">Kasol &#8211; Kheerganga Trek<\/a>Day 4 | Kheerganga &#8211; ToshDay 5 | Tosh &#8211; Kasol &#8211; Come back home Delhi \/ Chandigarh<\/p>\n<p>You should know that the starting point\/place of your Kasol trip also impacts your budget. <\/p>\n<p>But, why? <\/p>\n<p>It is because you may need to choose between different modes of transport to reach the base location for the Kasol trip. These locations could be Delhi to Chandigarh or even you may fly to Bhuntar in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiamike.com\/india\/himachal-pradesh-f29\/favourite-places-to-stay-in-himachal-t16718\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Himachal (opens in a new tab)\">Himachal<\/a>. Of course, if you choose to fly to Bhuntar, then it is no longer a budget trip to Kasol or Parvati Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with this itinerary in mind, let us see how you can save costs on your budget trip to Parvati Valley.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_7-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"That's my car on a trip to Kasol\" class=\"wp-image-169382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_7-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_7-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_7-1320x874.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_7-1024x678@2x.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_7-300x199@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>That&#8217;s my car on a trip to Kasol<\/p>\n<p>Traveling Costs for Kasol Trip<\/p>\n<p>As per our example travel for Kasol road trip, let&rsquo;s assume your starting point as Delhi for the sake of baseline. <\/p>\n<p>Travel to Kasol By Train<\/p>\n<p>The nearest railway station to Kasol is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joginder_Nagar_railway_station\">Joginder Nagar railway station<\/a>. You can preferably choose the sleeper class (Rs 280) or 3-AC at the max (Rs 755). After reaching Joginder Nagar, you can hire a shared cab to reach Kasol. The drop will cost you around Rs 200. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-dark-gray-color has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Hence, per person cost for reaching Kasol from Delhi by train comes out around Rs 500 &#8211; Rs 1000 including minor miscellaneous expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Traveling to Kasol By Road &#8211; Public Transport<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as this article is about a budget trip to Kasol, I will be considering public transport for traveling. I am not considering a self-drive trip to Parvati Valley or riding on your own bike or rented motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p>But, please keep in mind that if you are 4-5 people in a group and have your car, then travel costs may end up at par when making a Kasol trip by using public transport. You will need to pay for fuel, which you can divide among 4-5 people in the group. When I say equivalent, I am also considering the comfort and flexibility of traveling in your own car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\">The cost of traveling by car on a 5-day Kasol trip may come out to be Rs 1200-1500 for fuel depending on your car&#8217;s mileage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Budget_trip_to_Kasol_Parvati_Valley_2-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"You may plan a budget trip to Kasol by self-drive car\" class=\"wp-image-171680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Budget_trip_to_Kasol_Parvati_Valley_2-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Budget_trip_to_Kasol_Parvati_Valley_2-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Budget_trip_to_Kasol_Parvati_Valley_2-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Budget_trip_to_Kasol_Parvati_Valley_2-1024x685@2x.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Budget_trip_to_Kasol_Parvati_Valley_2-1320x884.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Budget_trip_to_Kasol_Parvati_Valley_2-300x201@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>You may plan a budget trip to Kasol by self-drive car<\/p>\n<p>Parvati Valley by Public Transport<\/p>\n<p>If you are traveling to Kasol by road, you can take a bus from Kashmere Gate ISBT, Delhi to Bhuntar, or Kullu-Manali. Both HRTC and HPTDC buses run between Delhi &#8211; Kullu &#8211; Manali. You can get down at Bhuntar. You can also find a bus to Manikaran from Delhi too.<\/p>\n<p>The HRTC ordinary bus costs Rs 750 and it leaves Kashmere Gate ISBT, Delhi at 8:26 PM. However, the Himgaurav 2&#215;2 AC bus costs Rs 1200 and leaves Delhi at 7.00 PM.<\/p>\n<p>There are other private bus tour operators as well that may charge a bit lower prices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-dark-gray-color has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Hence, the per person cost for reaching Kasol from Delhi using public transport is Rs 750 by ordginary HRTC bus.<\/p>\n<p>If you are <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/delhi-to-manali-himachal-pradesh-travel-guide\/\">taking Delhi to Manali bus<\/a> (Volvo or ordinary) then you need to get down at Bhuntar to reach Kasol. From Bhuntar, you can take a shared taxi to Kasol. This shared taxi will cost anywhere from Rs 100- Rs 250, depending upon the car, your haggling skills, etc. There are pre-paid taxis also available at the Bhuntar Airport going to Kasol. <\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can even catch another bus from Bhuntar, which is heading to Manikaran and get off along the way at Kasol. The cost of this bus from Bhuntar to Kasol is Rs 60-90.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Pro Travel Tip &ndash; Opt for an overnight bus to Kasol from Delhi to avoid the need for AC buses. Instead of private tour operators, I will recommend traveling to Kasol by HRTC buses.<\/p>\n<p>Local commute within Parvati Valley<\/p>\n<p>The best way to explore Kasol and the rest of Parvati Valley is on foot. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/treks-in-parvati-valley-travel-guide\/\">take the day hikes or treks around the entire Parvati Valley region<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the tranquillity of sitting on the banks of Parvati river. Travel through your imagination while sitting in one place. You do not need any vehicle for exploring Kasol and feel lost in nature. <\/p>\n<p>Unless you plan to take some treks which require a travel guide, you should be able to freely hike most villages around Kasol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-dark-gray-color has-very-light-gray-background-color\">The per person cost for local sightseeing in Kasol is &ndash; FREE!<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\">You should always carry your own <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Water Bottle\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2gOUOS6\" data-linkid=\"16965\" data-shortcode=\"true\">water bottle<\/a> and refill it as many times as you need water.

As per our example Kasol budget trip itinerary, the must-visit places in <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/tosh-trip-travel-guide-parvati-valley\/\">Parvati Valley include Tosh and Kheerganga<\/a> (at a minimum). <\/p>\n<p>For visiting Tosh and Kheerganga, you&rsquo;ll need to reach Barshaini, which is an hour away from Kasol. You can travel to these places by a shared tourist cab. Then, either you hike to Kheerganga or in summers some shared cabs take you near Tosh village.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-dark-gray-color has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Hence, per person cost for reaching Barshaini from Kasol to visit Kheerganga and Tosh will be around Rs 200 &#8211; 300. This cost also includes traveling between Kheerganga trek starting point and Tosh village as per the itinerary.<\/p>\n<p>Then the other places of interest can be <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/travel\/destinations\/why-you-must-spend-more-time-in-chalal-instead-of-kasol\/as62836395.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chalal (opens in a new tab)\">Chalal<\/a>, Rashol, and Pulga villages. These sightseeing places of Parvati Valley are all situated on trails. Hence, free to travel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-very-dark-gray-color has-very-light-gray-background-color\">The per person cost for <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Outdoors\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2zpCraq\" data-linkid=\"17249\" data-shortcode=\"true\">trekking<\/a> without a guide is FREE! You can also hike with a local villager and then tip him at the end.<\/p>\n<p>Parvati Valley Travel Cost Summary<\/p>\n<p>If I sum up all these options together, you will be spending the following costs on traveling to Kasol according to your mode of transport.<\/p>\n<p>The minimum cost for traveling to Kasol by train in sleeper class is Rs 1200 &#8211; Rs 1300 ((500)+(200-300)+(500)).The minimum cost for traveling to Kasol by private car in a group of 4-5 people is Rs 1200 &#8211; Rs 1500 as fuel charges.The minimum cost for traveling to Kasol by HRTC ordinary bus is Rs 1700 &#8211; Rs 1800 ((750)+(200-300)+(750)).<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Hence, you can see that if you want to make a budget trip to Kasol, then traveling by train in a sleeper class is the cheapest option at Rs 1200 &#8211; Rs 1300.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-text-align-left has-very-dark-gray-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color\">Thus, total amount you would spend on your travel on a budget trip to Parvati Valley will be Rs 1200-1800 depending on your choice for the mode of transport.<\/p>\n<p>Lodging Expenses in Kasol and nearby regions<\/p>\n<p>If you want to save money on your Kasol trip, then stay in hostel dormitories and making new travel friends. The entire Parvati Valley region is full of budget stay options, including the villages of Tosh, Kalga, Pulga, <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/malana-village-travel-guide-parvati-valley\/\">Malana<\/a>, Chalal, Rasol, and Kasol.

However, it depends on your tastes and appetite how much you spend on this. There is no limit on what you can spend on food. It all comes down to the fact that what, where, and how much you eat.<\/p>\n<p>However, for an average person eating three sets of meals with some snacks in between, I will consider Rs 400 &#8211; Rs 500 per day per person for food cost. This cost range will give you a balance of what and where you will end up eating.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you can eat all the meals at roadside dhabhas and carrying snack-bars with you, the food cost range Kasol trip can easily be Rs 250 &#8211; Rs 300 per day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Hence, for our 5-day itinerary of the Parvati Valley budget trip, you can consider about Rs 2000-2500 as food expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Miscellaneous expenses when in Kasol<\/p>\n<p>If you want to visit a rave &ndash; it is advisable to search for a less mainstream party where you might be able to save up on entry fee expenses.Also, it is advisable to avoid indulgences such as alcohol if you want to adhere to a strict budget. But, that is your call.I would also suggest not to shop to keep your costs low. But, you should soak in the culture and <a href=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/parvati-valley-detailed-travel-guide\/\">explore the many spots of Parvati Valley<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>You may consider about Rs 100 per day for any miscellaneous expenses. These expenses are excluding any special event or things you plan to attend when in Kasol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Hence, consider an optional Rs 500 budget for miscellaneous expenses of a budget trip to Kasol.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_16-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"You can still eat delicious food on Kasol Budget Trip\" class=\"wp-image-169368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_16-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_16-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_16-1320x884.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_16-1024x686@2x.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/devilonwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kasol_Trip_Parvati_Valley_16-300x201@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>You can still eat delicious food on Kasol Budget Trip<\/p>\n<p>Summary &#8211; Total cost of Kasol trip<\/p>\n<p>After considering all the factors that contribute to the cost of Parvati Valley trip, we can easily summarize them together.  <\/p>\n<p>Travel  \/ Transport Cost = Rs 1200 &#8211; Rs 1300Accommodation Cost = Rs 1200 &#8211; Rs 1600Food Cost = Rs 2000 &#8211; 2500Miscellaneous Expenses = Rs 500<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Hence, you can easily plan a budget trip to Kasol and Parvati Valley for Rs 4500 &#8211; Rs 5500.<\/p>\n<p>Things to keep in mind on your Kasol trip<\/p>\n<p>When you&rsquo;re budget vacationing, certain comforts go out for a toss.
