Geography & terrain
Tosh lies in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh at about 2,400 m, 20 km from Barshaini and 200 km from Delhi — the cafe village of the region, its trek base, the apple lanes and the quiet set on the Parvati valley's head.
History & culture
The village's story runs with the 2000s cafe era — the cafe village of the trek base and the 2000s-era cafes of the backpacker life, with the village's modern role as the offbeat stop of the Parvati circuit and the home of the 2000s-era cafes and the apple lanes and the 2010s-era camps; the village's history of the 1990s-era farms and the trek life, gives Tosh its cafe character.
