Kasol is an eclectic mountain village that is worth the trip
This mountain village is unique in many ways. The most obvious is the eclectic mix of people and cultures that live here. The town is often called the Little Israel of the Himalayas due to the large Israeli population. You will see that all of the street signs are written in both the native Hindi and in Hebrew. Living alongside the Israeli community and native Indians you will find a laid-back hippy presence. This is due to the fact that largest export of the area comes from growing cannabis, which they process into hashish that is popular in this region. Kasol is one of the most beautiful and unique places on our planet. Pick your choice of accommodation from the list above, and get ready for an amazing trip to Kasol!
