Katagla is a small serene village, in the state of Himachal Pradesh, with a very less settlement of people. As we all know that Kasol is a lot thronged and commercialized now, so the main motive of backpackers is not accomplished there. Therefore, they have started moving to nearby Villages and Katagla is one of them and also the most beautiful, as per me. So, katagla comes first in the list of places to stay near kasol.

How to reach Katagla –

Katagla is located just 3 kms before kasol and 7 kms before manikaran ( kasol is 4 kms before manikaran). So take a bus to kasol and just take a drop at katagla, just before kasol.

Katagla is not a settled along the road to kasol, but you have to cross a river bridge to reach katagla. So, just take a little descend from the point where bus drops you, to find the river bridge. Crossing that river bridge will lead you to Katagla.

Where to stay in Katagla –

Katagla has a few home stays and one luxury guest house (White house). I would prefer staying in a home stay as they are cheap and provide good home cooked food plus you get to interact with the local people and know their cultures better. You can contact me  if you want a decent stay in Katagla along the river side. In Summers, many local people set up their own camps also which you can rent at Rs.1000-1500 per head including meals. During off Season (Winters), the room in these home stays costs you around Rs. 500-700 as per the availability.

Katagla to Kasol –

Kasol is easily reachable from katagla via Road OR there is a small trek through the forest. Just follow the river and you will easily reach Kasol via Chalal village on the way.
