Manaliに向かう途中の空港のある町BhuntarからバスでParvati Valleyへ入ってゆきます。
聖地であり温泉の町Manikaran を過ぎ一番奥のBarsheni Bus stopで下車。
Kheer Ganga へのトレックはここから片道5時間です。
Barsheniの周りには宿がありません。
もし16時のManikaran行最終バスに間に合わない場合、Pulgaに1泊する必要があります。

Bhuntar is a town with an airport on the way to Manali. We can take a bus from Bhuntar to Parvati Valley. Pass the Holy place Manikaran with hot spring and get off at the innermost Barshaini Bus stop.
Trek to Kheer Ganga is 5 hours one way from here. There are no accommodations around Barsheni.
If you can not catch up the bus to Manikaran at 16:00, you need to stay 1 night at Pulga villege.

以前歩いたときは地元の人と一緒に、お寺で休んだりして良い雰囲気でした。
あまり過去と比べたくないけれど、今はその雨宿りした寺院には柵があり、地元の人々は増えすぎたツーリストに良い印象を持ってないような気も。
偽ってお香を売りつけようとする村人がジョークのように思えたり。。。

When I trekked 10 years ago it had a good atmosphere to rest in the temple with a locals. I don't want to compare it with the past, but now there is a fence around that temple where we were break from the rain. The increase of tourists seemed to give bad impression to locals. Some locals trying to sell the incense falsely many times also seemed like a joke...

実際、交通機関がある割に滞在費が高くつきます。物価はManikaranの3倍します。
多くの国内旅行者が日帰りする気持ちも分かります。いちばん必要なのは便利の良い学校じゃないかと思いました。

Even though there is the public transportation, the stay cost is increasing.
Prices are three times Manikaran.
It's the cause of many domestic travelers choice go on a day trip. I think maybe this area need a helpful school.

けれど自然と温泉はやっぱり素晴らしかった。
Kheer Gangaは巡礼地であり、ささやかな巡礼宿(Dharamshara)にドネーションで泊まることが出来ます。
またPin Valley trek の出発点でもあります。

However, the hot springs were nice and nature as well. Kheer Ganga is a pilgrimage place, and we can stay and donate to small pilgrimage lodge (Dharamshala). It is also the starting point of Pin Valley trek.

最後の2時間を、オッドアイの彼が案内してくれました!

The last two hours, Odd Eye's doggy, he led me!
