The Pin Parvati Pass trek is the holy grail for seasoned trekkers. It is an expedition-style trek that connects the lush, verdant Parvati Valley in Kullu to the barren, high-altitude Pin Valley in Spiti. The trail takes you through dense rainforests, across dangerous river crossings, over a massive glacier, and past the sacred Mantalai Lake before dropping you into the colorful deserts of Spiti. It is raw, rugged, and absolutely breathtaking.
The source of the Parvati river. A sacred lake surrounded by glaciers and a temple of Lord Shiva.
