Itinerary description

This loop trail (to and fro) starts from a point near to a small bridge north of Barshaini NHPC plant, and goes near to Kheerganga (1.5km away). I couldn't go all the way because I had to return before dark. :-(

It is mostly parallel to the Parbati river, and passes through Nakthan village, Rudranaag temple, Rudranaag bridge and final approach to Kheerganga.

Wear (really) good hiking shoes, be ready for temperature and precipitation changes, beware of black ice at many places and do not forget a good walking stick (which you can easily buy at Barshaini). Happy hiking!

Waypoints

Nakthan village

Small village with many cafe and camping agencies.

Rudranaag Temple

Pretty much am open air temple with a couple of 'camp cafes' near by.

Rudranaag Waterfall

A small, but tall, waterfall opposite to the temple at the other side of the river Parbati. Its also the point where you cross the river and move towards the more steeper and forestry part of the trail.

Waterfall

Summit

As seen from the trail. The "Kheerganga Half-way Waterfall" is probably the waterfall encountered just before.

Intersection

This is intersection as seen on way back. The right path leads back to the way through Rudranaag and Nakthan, along the northern bank of river Parbati. The left path leads the trail to Barshini along the souther bank of the river.
