Nakthan is a village in the upper Parvati Valley, on the way to Kheerganga, in Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India. An appellation is named after it.

Geography

Nakthan lies about 2.9 km east of Barshaini and 2.1 km east-south-east of Tosh, at about 2,390 m.

Tourism

When the forest department banned camping at Kheerganga in July 2024, it told visitors to come back down the same day or stay the night at Tosh, Kalga, Barshaini or Nakthan.[1] A plan to improve the Kheerganga route, reported in February 2025, proposed "a jeepable road from the main road to Nakthan" and a better trail beyond it.[2]
