Shopping
Kasol Market
The beating heart of Kasol, this compact flea market along the main road is where the village's famous hippie culture comes alive. Stalls sell Himachali woolen caps, ponchos, dreamcatchers, hemp products, semi-precious stone jewelry, and Bob Marley memorabilia. The market runs alongside the Parvati River and is best explored in the evenings, when the air fills with cafe music and the buzz of backpackers from across the world. Bargaining is expected and encouraged.
