Uncover the serene and peaceful Holy Cow Cafe in Kalga

-

Are you in search of a serene and tranquil cafe in Kasol? A breathtaking location enveloped by majestic mountains? I am delighted to introduce you to a marvelous establishment known as Holy Cow Cafe in Kalga, Kasol.

Let me begin with a quote that resonated with me: "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a truly remarkable and serene place during my travels. Himachal never fails to amaze with its scenic beauty and picturesque locations. While on a trip to Kasol, we stumbled upon a hidden gem in Kalga. Getting to Kalga was not easy; we took the Barshaini route with a scooty and had to cross the Pulga DAM. From there, we had to hike for approximately 30 minutes. Even after that, we had to walk for another 15 minutes to reach the Holy Cow Cafe. However, the view from the cafe was breathtakingly beautiful. The effort and sweat were definitely worth it. The mountains, covered in snow, were a sight to behold. Surprisingly, there were very few people around, making the place quiet and peaceful. The cafe also offers room facilities at a price of around Rs 800 per person. The food was decent, although not exceptional. Nevertheless, the ambiance and vibe of the place were amazing. The seating arrangement consisted of wooden floors with mattresses, pillows, and quilts. At night, the silence was almost eerie, making it an ideal spot for stargazing. We had noodle hot chocolate, rice, and dal, which cost us around Rs 800. It was a bit pricey but definitely worth it. I highly recommend anyone visiting Kasol to include this place in their wishlist. On a side note, I write blogs about travel and my experiences. Please check out my other blogs on Goa, Pondicherry, and Himachal. I strive to keep them simple and share my honest reviews and budget travel tips.

  I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful experience I had at ATS Cafe Kasol during my recent trip to Kasol. I have already shared my travel experience in my Kasol Blog, but I wanted to dedicate a small section specifically to this incredible cafe. I'm sure you must have seen the Instagram reel featuring ATS Cafe, located in the charming Katagala Village near Hangover Bridge in Kasol. To reach this cafe, you simply need to cross the bridge, and you'll find yourself near the riverside. It's a breathtaking location, with numerous camps, hostels, and even a recently opened Zostel nearby. While the food at ATS Cafe may be a bit pricey, the ambiance and vibe of the cafe are absolutely delightful. The flowing river and beautiful view create the perfect setting, making it one of the most picturesque cafes I have ever visited. It reminded me of a similar experience I had at Lush by Th Anjuna in Goa. What makes ATS Cafe truly special are ...

Exploring Bir Billing: A Trip to the Paragliding Capital of India

In May 2023, we visited Bir Billing, a rural village located in the west of Joginder Nagar Valley in the state of Himachal Pradesh in northern India. Bir is known as the paragliding capital of India and is home to the Bir Tibetan Colony, which was established in the 1960s as a settlement for Tibetan refugees. Bir serves as the landing site for paragliders, while Billing is the starting point. Personally, I did not try paragliding due to my fear of heights. Our trip lasted for four days, and the highlight was spending time at the beautiful landing site and witnessing the breathtaking sunset. Regarding our accommodation, we booked a room at The Birdhouse Villa in Chaughan, Bir. The room was a basic one with all the necessary amenities, and it cost us around Rs 7,000. Although the room was good, it was not excellent. However, the balcony offered an awesome view of the tea garden and the surrounding greenery. In terms of sightseeing, there are many places to visit in Bir Billing. However, ...

In November 2023, I had the opportunity to visit Kasol, a picturesque destination located in Parvati Valley. To make the most of my trip, I decided to book a hostel in Parvati Valley, which is known for its affordable rooms catering to backpackers. During my four-day stay, I primarily explored the area by riding scooters. Kasol is truly a beautiful place, surrounded by majestic mountains and abundant greenery. Its vibrant hippie culture has made it a popular spot for Israelis. In Kasol, there are three Hosteller properties available: Hosteller Kasol, Hosteller Parvati Valley, and Hosteller Riverside. I chose to stay at Hosteller Parvati Valley in Kasol, where my room offered a spacious bathroom and a small balcony that provided a great spot for stargazing. The room itself was of standard quality and came equipped with a hot kettle, crockery, and coffee pouches. What I particularly loved about this place was the breathtaking view from my room. The front wall featured a transparent glass...
