Kheerganga is rendered as the most popular trek starting from Kasol. It is perched at an elevation of 2960m from the sea level. Kheerganga is a small picturesque village ringed with innumerable mountain ranges. Kheerganga, as we can decipher from the name, talks about the religious Ganga river whose colour resembles that of Kheer(a popular Indian dessert made from milk). This name has originated from its white, milky complexioned waters flowing continuously all day in its entirety, into the Parvati valley from all sides and edges of the mountains. The history of Kheerganga is rich and has a profound religious significance. It was believed that Lord Shiva meditated here, in this village for years. It is religiously important for both Hindus and Sikhs.
There is more to the history of Kheerganga. Kartikeya, brother of Lord Ganesha was also known to meditate and pray in Kheerganga after losing to Lord Ganesha. Parvati, while visiting her son, wanted to cook rice pudding. Due to the presence of the hot water spring, legends have it that Parvati cooked in that natural hot water itself. Keeping in mind this event of mythological importance, the name Kheerganga was assigned to this pious, mystical tourist spot.
