Kherganga Mythology
Kheeganga has a long history as a place of pilgrimage for Hindus and Sikhs. Before we get into the travel guide, let’s take a closer look.
The Story of Kalyug
When Shivji and Parvati Ji went here on Satyug, Kheer appeared from nowhere. However, Parvati Ji tells Purushotam to change the kheer and throw himself into the river, knowing that the Kalyugs (meaning us!) will fight for him.
Guru Nanak visits Kheeganga. During Udasi, Guru Nanak Singh Ji visited his disciple, Bhai Mardana, at Kheeganga. Bhai Mardana was hungry during one of these visits, but there was no food. Bhai Mardana went to Langar to get aata (flour) from Guru Nanak Ji. However, there is no fire nearby to cook the chapatis. Guru Nanak ji asked Mardana to remove a big stone, which caused hot water to come out. Rotis fell when Mardana threw it into the water. Mardana prayed to God, on the advice of Guru Nanak Ji, for the rotis to rise again, and when this happened, he paid his dues by giving food to others. Rotis come back to the surface after they are cooked well.
Therefore, anyone who gives a gift in the name of God with good intentions will always have significant karma attached to him.

Travel plans
Get up early – get up in the sun is hard –
It’s a long journey, especially for beginners, and you don’t want to spend all your time in the heat. Yes, the temperature in such places is high, but so is the strength of the sun.
Accommodation on the road:
Airbnb (if you stop and extend the trip). Beautiful houses can be found in Barshaini and Tosh, as well as in small villages scattered along the road.
Nakthan should be a holiday:
this beautiful and amazing city will be the perfect place to rest those legs. It’s also about the middle of your path, making it the best game. Kheeganga is famous for its hot spring, known as Parvati Kund. It would be a shame not to go! Imagine yourself in a “hot shower” outside in the cold wind, enjoying the view of the high mountains of the Parvati valley. Are you still interested? It’s a bad feeling—don’t let it go!
Camping under the stars
isn’t it obvious? The beauty and mystery of the Parvati Valley Kheerganga are no exception; you will love every minute of it, and you will really dare to spend the whole night in a mesmerising camping trance.
