Trekking in the Himalayan ranges is always considered the best place to enjoy the holidays. Himachal Pradesh is blessed with Pin Parvati Pass having an amazing view of natural scenic beauty in the icy mountain ranges of the western Himalayas. Pin valley trek is located at an elevation of 5319 meters high which delights to seasoned trekkers. The best season for trekking in Manali is an ideal summer peak i.e. the month of July to September end. Trekking to Pin Parvati Pass is the best summer break from the blazing heat which will surely tempt adventure lover trekkers.

Trekking in Manali is considered a glory for passionate trekking lovers. Pin Parvati Pass Trek is known as a very tricky pass as it falls at a high altitude and is covered under frozen snow mountains for almost a whole year. Uncertain rainfall makes the trekking area slippery and increases the risk factor.

Pin Parvati Pass is named after the pass link of Parvati Valley of Kullu to Pin Valley in Spiti. The journey starts from Kullu and ends in Manali taking 11 days adventurous trip. The exciting part of this trek falls in the abundant beauty of nature with attractive landscapes, lush greenery, intense alpine forest, wild colorful blossoming flowers, and north terrestrial sceneries. The trekking starts by driving to Barsheni Village from Kullu. While trekking to Rudranath and camp followed by Khirganga to Tunda Bhuj and Thakur Kuan at a height of 13400 high trekkers discover the barren valleys of Himachal, attractive villages, bright sea cliff, and high chilling waterfalls. Khir Ganga is devoted to lord Shiva where devotees take a deep bath in hot tank water. The pass gives a striking view on one side of a colorful hue of mountains flanked by snowy peaks and the barren Spiti valley on the other. This spectacular trek is further continuous to trekking at Mantalai Lake to Base Camp and Parvati side Base camp to Pin side Base camp over Pin Parvati pass at 17,500ft high after trekking for 8 hours. While trekking from Pin Valley side camp to Wichkurung Thatch, in the trek way you will find Pin Valley National Park and Great Himalayan National Park which is well known all over the world for snow leopards and Himalayan birds respectively. Further continuing the trek to the biggest pin valley in Himachal Mud. The route to Mud is full of muddy areas and gives an outstanding vision while on foot to Kaza. The adventurous trek ends here and trekkers travel back to Manali and make a pleasant overnight stay here. Trekkers also explore a few ancient Buddhist monasteries in the region.

How To Reach

  • Pick Up Place
  • Drop Place
  • Note

You have to reach Manali

Options

1.  Take overnight bus to Manali from Delhi or Chandigarh, taking a bus from Chandigarh is the most ideal option.

  • Chandigarh to Manali Bus: 10 hours.
  • Delhi to Manali Bus: 14 hours is hectic and takes more time.

We always recommend to go for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Manali at least by 9-10 am positively.

Take a flight to Chandigarh Airport and then travel by bus to Manali is the best option.

2. You can even take a flight to Bhuntar Airport but I would not recommend it because of the high prices of the flight and very high chances of cancellations. In case you do reach Bhuntar by flight, Manali is just a couple of hours away and you can easily get a bus or a private taxi till there. If you do plan to come via Bhuntar, make sure to reach at least a day before the trek starts.

 

3. You can even come via train, Pathankot railway station is from where you can get direct buses to Manali that is 300 km from there and would take an overnight journey. Even in this case, reach a day before at Manali.

Once you reach the assembly point of the trek in Manali. TTH will take care of your further travel, which is also the starting point of the trek.

  • TTH’s Tata Sumo, Tempo Traveller or similar vehicles will pick-up you.
  • Pick-up is included in the cost of the trek.
  • If you wish to upgrade the transport service, please contact the Trek Coordinator.

Trekkers will be dropped at Manali Gov Bus Stand by 05:00 PM, for onward journey from Manali it is advised to make arrangements after 08:00 PM.

In the unlikely event that TTH cancels a trek prior to the scheduled departure date:

These circumstances could include continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that poses a risk to the safety of our trekkers. Additionally, unforeseeable events such as local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any similar situations that compromise the safety of the trekking experience may also necessitate a cancellation.
