About this experience
Welcome to Back-Pack-Go!
We're going to the hills. We personally hope you leave the city version of you behind.
Let us give you a little idea of how we at Vagabond Experiences do group trips. First of all, we don’t do ‘tour operators’. Every group will be accompanied by an Experience Manager (AKA. EM). EMs are trained to do one job; help you have a comfortable, safe and fulfilling experience.
Through the ages, the mountains have been a getaway for many a traveller. But, this valley holds a special place amidst them. Parvati is home to many small villages, some ancient cultures, and an abundance of natural beauty. Honestly speaking, a lifetime might not be enough to explore everything that this beautiful place has to offer. But think of this trip as a carefully curated and relaxed introduction.

Day-by-Day Itinerary
2
Day 1: The Mountains Are Calling
Our journey begins in the National Capital. Assemble at ISBT Kashmiri Gate in Delhi at 5:30 pm. Board a bus to Kasol. Goodbye traffic, goodbye families, and probably (hopefully), goodbye cellphone reception for a while.
Travel: 12-13 hrs bus journey (Delhi > Kasol)
Day 2: The Heart of The Valley
We reach Bhuntar/Kasol early the next morning and switch into taxis to get to Kalga, a hilltop village nestled in the heart of Parvati Valley. Settle into our homestay for the day. Take the rest of the day to explore the beautiful woodside hamlet.
Travel: 1-1.5 hrs taxi journey (Kasol > Kalga)
Day 3: Hum Bhi Hai Tosh Main
A visit to the neighbouring village of Tosh is on the agenda for the day. Tosh is one of the popular hamlets in this neck of the woods. Explore the cute cafes and gorgeous views of the Parvati Mountain Range. We spend the day in Tosh and head back to our homestay for a chill night under the stars.
Travel: 30 minutes taxi journey (Kalga > Tosh)
Day 4: Of Fairies and Forests
We are going into the misty mountainside forest!
A short hike away from Kalga is its sister village, Pulga. This village is a gateway to one of the most beautiful places in the valley. Known locally as a ‘Fairy Forest’, this pine forest is the perfect place to commune with nature. This is where you can find a tree, rock or branch to sit on and find some peace. For the adventurous, one of the trails through the forest also leads to a calming and almost private waterfall. This is one of our favourite days of the experience.
After chilling in the forest, we explore the tiny lanes of Pulga and make our way back to Kalga for our final night in the village.
Day 5: Last Chance
After breakfast, we bid farewell to Kalga and head towards the town of Kasol. This is our last day in Himachal. We keep our luggage in the pre-booked room and explore the quaint cafes and throbbing markets. Go shopping for those jholas, hemp paraphernalia and jewellery you've always wanted to buy from Himachal. We board an overnight bus back to New Delhi after 7. Make the most of this night since we might not be seeing each other again (Aww damn!).
Travel: 12-13 hrs bus journey (Kasol>Delhi)
Day 6: Byeeeee
If we don’t catch any delays, we will arrive in Delhi in the early hours of the morning. We alight from our bus, bid farewell to our new friends and say hello to a few weeks' worth of ‘Take me back’ posts. Until next time vagabonds!

Vagabond started out as a project by four friends with a disdain for the ordinary. The idea was simple; take people out of their comfort zones. Not like Roadies, but just enough to bond them together through beautiful and authentic experiences. Happiness, as they say, is only real when shared. And share we did.
The company was founded in 2014. As fresh Bachelor of Arts degree holders, companies were lining up to hire us fine gentlemen; we’re kidding. Fueled by entrepreneurial zeal, we started with small events in the city like heritage walks through Bombay’s old quarters. As musicians and travellers ourselves, we decided to marry these two loves of our lives. That is how the idea for the first Fields of Sound™ came about. Since then, it has only been onward and upwards for us.
Since 2014, we’ve made friends like family through our journey. Our little ‘Vaga’-Fam. It’s safe to say, it’s been quite an adventure. One we would like you to join :)
