A tiny Himalayan village at the confluence of Parvati and Tosh rivers, Barshaini is the last motorable point before Tosh and Kheerganga treks.
Why Barshaini ??
  • Starting point for Tosh, Kheerganga, Kalga & Pulga
  • Dramatic river confluence views
  • Raw village life without tourist noise
  • Budget-friendly stopover for backpackers

Barshaini sits quietly at the junction where the Parvati River meets the Tosh Nallah, marking a natural crossroads of Parvati Valley. It’s not a sightseeing-heavy village, but its importance lies in access. Almost everyone heading to Tosh, Kheerganga, or Kalga passes through Barshaini—on foot, by bus, or hitchhiking.

The village itself is sparse: a few homes, dhabas, small guesthouses, and local shops. What makes Barshaini special is its location and energy—you’ll see trekkers resting, villagers heading uphill with supplies, and buses squeezing onto narrow mountain roads. If you value raw geography and movement over cafés and comfort, Barshaini makes sense.
