Some of the Kasol places to visit have it all sorted for the tourists with decent number of tourist places and fun activities. Here, it is not just about the place or activity, it is also about knowing the hidden culture and traditions of this tiny hamlet. Being called the Israel of India, Kasol is filled with a mixture of India and Israeli culture that is worth a watch. Season to visit Although it’s a very nice, quite, relaxed and pleasant place through out the year but of course during “Spring Season” it’s just amazingly beautiful. Fully loaded with apple orchards the beauty of Tirthan Valley gets ready to mesmerize any soul on earth. Do note that in winters the place gets very cold and vulnerable towards wildlife interference especially by the presence of Leopards and Bears in this area because snow at heights forces them to descend towards valley. In snow due to less amount of food on the mountains these leopards and bears are bound to attack, so be careful while having a walk in the woods. As per the past experiences of many people this valley will not disappoint you a bit from March to November and is considered the best time to visit if somehow you don’t get a chance in Spring season. Trout fishing season is from March to October and for that you need to take a daily license at Rs. 100 per person per fishing rod which is non-transferable.

The fort of Kangra, or Nagarkot, stands as a dumb spectator to the damages caused by the victors of Mahmud of Ghazni, in the year 1009 A.D., and then came the destroyers of the emperor of Jehangir, in 1619 A.D. After that the final toll came in April 1905,when an earthquake ravaged the fort. By the way, it is surprising to note that Akbar failed to capture this fort. This place is known as “Purana Kangra.” The entry to this fort is by a narrow path. There several gates, christened after the conquerors, namely Jehangir and Ranjit Singh.
