Pin Parvati Trek
Pin Parvati Trek: The trek of Himachal Pradesh !
The Pin Parvati Pass connects the Spiti area with the Kullu area via the Pin and Parvati valleys. This trek allows you to go though most of the ecosystems of these two very different areas. Be sure to have a rich and unforgettable experience of the Western Himalayas.
the trek is a quite strenuous and so you need to be physically fit. Do not do the Pin Parvati as your first trek as you may encounter difficulties you were not prepared for. Pin Parvati pass trek is a good challenge for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
On the second day you will enjoy the hot waters at Kheer Ganga. Then it is a gradual climb through dense forest, large meadows, steep gorges and other glacier-made landscapes.
The nature will progressively take the place of the civilization and offer you peace throughout your journey.
Except for the first night at Kalgha all other nights are spend under tents on beautiful meadows or on ice near the pass. You will see some incredible landscapes, glaciers and then Buddhist villages in the region of Spiti.
