Pin Parvati Pass Trek
One of the most challenging, remote, and rewarding trans-Himalayan crossover expeditions.
The Pin Parvati Pass is the ultimate adventure for seasoned Himalayan trekkers. It traverses the dense, mist-laden rainforests and hot sulfur springs of Parvati Valley, crosses the knife-edge glacier pass at 17,457 ft, and drops into the surreal, multi-colored high-desert landscape of Pin Valley National Park in Spiti.
Best Time to Visit
Trek through apple orchards, waterfalls, and thick deodar forests along the roaring Parvati river to the natural thermal springs of Kheerganga.
Navigate cliff trails and suspension bridges over the gushing river into dense birch groves of Tunda Bhuj.
Cross the famous Pandu Bridge (a massive single boulder spanning the torrent) to reach the wide grasslands of Thakur Kuan.
