Leave for Manali from Delhi by bus, which is the starting point of this trip. To reach the base camp on time, it is advisable to board a bus around 6 pm. Deboard the bus at ‘Patlikuhal’ intersection, which is around 20 km before Manali, and take any of the available transportation options to travel to Rumsu Village. To reach the Rumsu Base Camp, you can rent a vehicle based on the size of your group. Once the acclimatisation walk around the base camp concludes, trekkers will be provided with trekking gear like bags, microspikes, and gaiters. These are the trekking essentials for the Pin Parvati Trek.

Hikers will depart from the Rumsu Base Camp for Barshaini on Day 2 at 8:00 am, starting with a hike towards Kheerganga. An uncomplicated route, this is one of the shortest treks, and takes around 4-5 hours to complete. Enjoy juicy, local apples on the way as you cross the peaceful village of Nakthan, which is 6 km away from Kheerganga. Enroute Kheerganga, you’ll pass through Rudranag meadow, which is known for its Shiva Temple. A 30-minute stroll from Nakthan Village takes you to the revered Rudranag Temple. The hot water springs nearby entice many to take a dip, and you can enjoy a relaxing swim in the hot springs, too. Upon reaching Kheerganga, enjoy a scrumptious dinner and rest.

Wake up to a beautiful sunrise on Day 3, and prepare for an exciting journey from Kheerganga to Tunda Bhuj. This is known to be an easy trek, with a moderate ascent, and takes about 5 to 6 hours to conclude. Relish the scenic beauty of the banks of River Parvati, as you hike towards Tunda Bhuj. Enjoy a well-deserved night of peaceful sleep, before commencing your Day 4 adventure of this Pin Parvati Trek package.

The route from Tunda Bhuj to Thakur Kuan almost entirely follows a flat plain with no ascent needed for the Parvati River’s right bank. Enjoy the adrenaline rush as you cross the demolished timber bridge on the Parvati River. Getting to Thakur Kuan after crossing the bridge requires an ascent that takes about an hour. On the left side of the Parvati River, you will find the campground with a large open area, where you can savour an hour of rest and enjoy the crisp mountain air before you resume the hike to Thakur Kuan.

The journey lasts for about four to five hours and is mostly level with a few moderate ascents. Two demanding  bridges that are constructed of large individual rock boulders are located along the route. It is thought that Bheem, one of the Pandava brothers from Mahabharata, built the bridge, which is known as the Pandav bridge. Shepherds frequently travel to this location because of the lush grassland. You’ll need to stay overnight at Rubi Thach before you continue your journey across the Pin Parvati Pass.

This part of the Pin Parvati Pass Trek includes a journey from Rubi Thach to Manatali. It involves a steady ascent and takes about 5 hours via Odi Thach, another thach along the route. Mantalai is the only place where the pristine Parvati River can be seen in the form of a lake. Sculptures of Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, and Trishul could be seen on the bank, indicating the spot’s sacred importance. Enjoy the breathtaking view and the spiritual vibe, before turning in for the night.

From Mantalai to the base camp on Parvati’s side, a major hike begins on the Pin Parvati Pass Trek. A large waterbody, the Kala Khor Nalla, travels alongside the trekking route. When crossing this path, hikers must exercise caution. Crossing the Nalla before 10 AM is recommended as the flow is at its lowest at this time. The descent to Parvati side base camp will begin from here, starting with a hard snow bed, and panoramic views of the snow-capped mountains.

Starting at 6 am, the journey from the Parvati Side Base Camp to Pin Side Base Camp gives you the chance to cross the glacier region. Just before reaching the Pass, glance at the wonderful peaks—South Parvati and Ganesh. Once the descent is complete, we will use a rope to cross the Pine Nala and arrive at the Pin Side Base Camp for dinner and a warm, cosy sleep.

On the last day of the Pin Parvati Trek, we start on the left side of Pin Nala. The route converges on a vehicle-less road, finally reaching the Mud village. Upon arrival at the Mud village, we take an adventurous jeep ride to Kaza. The Pin Parvati Trek itinerary concludes at Kaza by late evening. Explore the local markets for some delicacies before you return to the hotel/campsite to rest for the night. You can either leave the next morning or explore the beautiful Spiti Valley and revel in the quiet ambience for a couple of days.
