An experience of two different worlds at once
Connecting Kullu Valley to Pin Valley, this challenging yet exhilarating Trans-Himalayan trek over the Pin Parvati Pass boasts of contrasting landscapes. On on end, we’ll find yourself walking through the abundant biodiversity of Parvati Valley, and on the other, we'll encounter the cold and dry mountain desert region of Spiti. We'll be crossing boulder bridges on the way to Odi Thatch and navigating the marshlands of Manatalai all while walking through glacial traverses and soaking in spectacular views of distinct landscapes on either side.
Please Note: This trek is not recommended for first-time trekkers.
