The trek is pretty epic because it is one of the most enthralling and challenging trekking trails Himalayas. During our trek we crossed pine forest, waterfalls, bridges and most important part snow covered mountains in front of our eyes. The trek was properly arranged with timely breaks for rest and good acclimatization. Our camping sites were very scenic in the middle of nowhere. We had a lot of fun in dancing and singing the around bonfire at our campsites. Our guide was really amazing and he became good friend of all the group members. Those 12 days were one of the best part of my life, I kept on looking the pictures time and again to ch... Read More

There is no other trek in India which is equal to Pin Parvathi trek- this is what I felt. It is such a brilliant place with a lot of sightseeing options too. Indeed, this trek is moderate at some places but challenging at some other regions. But for sure, everyone can enjoy walking along the meadows and reaching the top of Pin Parvathi. To look from the top to the surrounding would be the appreciable thing everyone will love to do. I don’t have any complaints regarding the trip since this is not the first time I am going for trekking and camping. Usual camping and trekking will have a lot of problems due to the unorganized planning and all. B... Read More

One of the most beautiful and eventful treks in North India is the Pin Parvati Trek. There are hundreds of amazing attractions throughout the route and the serenity is inimitable. The guide was supportive and friendly. We did not have many troubles during the trip except tiredness and delay by the traffic at some places. The fog covered atmosphere looked so pretty every morning. We have been staying in homestays and tents during the tour. The food from the hotels and the homestays was really tasty. For serious trekkers and trek lovers should try doing this amazing trek. The route to Pin Parvathi has a lot of things to unwind to the visitors. ... Read More

Nice but long trek, almost two weeks of trekking was conducted on the moderate trails of Spiti Valley and himalayan mountains. Camping was good too, but not all camping sites were good enough to fix your tents and spent overnights.
