Few high
passages across the main Himalayas spine provide the variety and rewards of high level trek as does the Pin Parvati, connecting
the tributary of the Beas
which it joins near the Bhunter and the Pin which flows into Spiti. With extreme difference in climate, Pin valley is much
more rugged and barren than the Parvati valley. This cold desert valley with its snowy crags, cliff and crevasses, jagged
rocks and other fossils make Pin valley a unique geological lab. Winter plays havoc here as ferocious blizzards and snowstorms
send the glaciers cracking, ravaging the valleys rugged moonscape. But its long rain free summer is a prime time for the adventurers
to see Spitis wild life in motion when the predatory snow leopard, red fox, marten, weasel, Himalayan Pika, bearded vulture,
golden eagle, lynx and Tibetan wolf roam in the park (area is conserved as a national park 1987) Second part of trek in Ladakh
