The Pin Parbati Pass, 4,810m, is marked by rock cairns and
prayer flags. The alpine views to the snow-capped ranges towards the
Kullu Valley
contrast with the barren mountain ridges, which stretch east towards
Spiti.
Trek routes from Manikaran
lead to Pulga, Khirganga and Mantalai - and finally to the Pin Parbati
Pass, which connects the Sutlej
valley and the Spiti valley.
