Pin Valley National Park – Where the Wild Lives Free

A hidden gem within Spiti, Pin Valley National Park is a sanctuary of untouched wilderness and serenity. Spanning altitudes from 11,500 to over 20,000 feet, it is home to the elusive snow leopard, Himalayan ibex, and several rare medicinal herbs. The valley is nourished by the Pin River, which winds through stark cliffs, green pastures, and remote villages. The Kungri Monastery, the only Nyingma sect monastery in Spiti, adds spiritual charm to the rugged beauty. Trekkers love exploring trails from Mudh Village that lead deep into the park’s heart. Spring brings wildflowers, while winter transforms it into a snow-covered wonderland. Pin Valley perfectly captures Spiti’s dual spirit—wild yet peaceful, barren yet beautiful.
