Karsog is a town and municipal area (Nagar Panchayat) in the state of Himachal Pradesh in northern India.

Due to cold weather in the 7–8 months in the year dhatus, shawls and woolen jackets are the main clothing of most of people in the valley.

Located in the Himalayas, Karsog goes through vast drought seasons during the winter and is burdened by flooding and hail every spring.

Apples, wheat, Rajma, corn, pomegranates, rice, potato, peas and vegetables are the main crops.

Recently new apple cultivars like jeromine,redvelox, gala, adom, and other vegetables like celery, broccoli, and red capsicum have been introduced.

Accessible from the state capital Shimla, the tracks around Karsog and Chindi contain wide valleys, crisscrossed by streams and carpeted with fields of assorted vegetables and grain.

The villages of Churag, Chindi, and Mahunag form a part of the foreground and the other sightseeing places of Dhamoon and Seri Bangla ( Bungalow ) are also visible.

Kunhoo Dhar has a large pond and big ground while a low rise holds the small temple dedicated to both Kamakshya ( Kamakhya ) Devi and Nag Dhamooni.

A large drum, similar to the one at Mamel is one of the noteworthy objects in the temple.Kamaksha devi temple at karsog valley in Mandi HP A local story has it that the ruler of the erstwhile princely state of Suket, in whose territories the area fell, was pressuring local people to join the British forces during the Second World War.

The route is through thick woods that have trees of deodar ( Himalayan cedar), spruce, fir and walnut – and several rare herbs.

The area is a wildlife sanctuary that hosts the musk deer, ghoral, bears and a variety of pheasants and other birds.

Small huts of the migrant Gaddi and Gujjar people lie along the trail and in spring and again in late autumn you can see them moving with their flocks of cattle.

As in practically every other part of Himachal, temples abound in the Chindi-Karsog area, including near Sairi Bangla ( Bungalow ) and at Saranda.

A little off the drive to Mandi lies the village of Pangana, which was the original seat of the rulers of Suket, until they shifted the capital to Sundernagar.

En route and accessible from the village Chowki, after an uphill hike of half a dozen kilometres through thick woods, lies the temple of Kamrunag.

Through all this time the offerings of gold, silver, ornaments and coins have been dropped in the small lake that lies in front of the temple.
