Pin Parvati (5,319 m) is one of the beautiful mountain pass in Himachal Pradesh, India. Records show it was first crossed in August 1884 by sir Louis Dane in search of an alternate route to the Spiti Valley. but the shepherds from spiti used to do it often for grazing their sheep in the lush green parvati valley. This pass connects the fertile and lush Parvati Valley on the Kullu side with the barren high-altitude Pin valley on the Spiti side.
Pin Parvati Pass trek provides you dense alpine forest of pine and lush green meadows of the Parvati Valley side, contrasting with the dry, rocky landscape on Trans-Himalayan region of Spiti.

You also experience the hot water springs at Parvati Kund at Kheerganga.
