Pulga.
The landscape and scenic offering of the transcending mountainscape surrounding Pulga is sure to blow one's mind. The village has pocket-friendly homestays with friendly staff. The village is a starting point for various treks and is positioned between two mountain runs, offering awe-inspiring views during the golden hours of the day. The mountain ranges are a treat to the eyes after the snowfall. The mists passing by the mountain belt accompanied by snow settled on the rocky mountain body is definitely something unparalleled and unmissable.
Kheerganga.
Kheerganga is 5-6 km away from Tosh and the only way to reach it is by trekking. The hike takes the backpackers through tiny Himachali villages, pine forests with huge oak trees, and endless greenery. The reward? A hot water pool at the highest point in this village surrounded by snow-peaked mountains! Legend has it, Lord Shiva meditated in Kheerganga for 3000 years. There is a little pool on the highest point here with warm spring water. The water from the hot springs is believed to be “holy” with healing properties. A blissful feeling of being immersed in warm water with mountains around that was covered with snow!
Malana.
An uphill trek through the difficult terrains leads to the mountaintop where Malana Village is located. With a population of around 500 people and basic facilities available in the village, Malana is a wonderful trek and an amazing place to explore. Trek to Malana is not as easy as Tosh or Kalga. The solitary village of Malana was cut off from the rest of the world for many years and many say it’s the oldest democracy in the world.

Rudra Nag & Naktan Village
Have you experienced cuteness in nature? Well, if not, head on over to RudraNag – everything is adorable. The colors are cute, the people are sweet, and the views will make you experience the same feelings as that of falling in love. Lying halfway from Barshaini to KheerGanga, there are a couple of guesthouses in the villages, and pretty apple orchards line the way. Lots of waterfalls break the monotony of lush greenery (embarrassment of riches).
Waichin Valley
Just 4 km from Malana, this is a hidden gem that no one knows. The dramatic landscapes and the wonderful hike will keep you entertained. The combination of adventure and peace is a hard balance to find, yet, here we are – Waichin provides the same thing.
