    Notified in 1987, Pin Valley
    National Park is located south
    of Dhankar gompa in the cold
    desert region of Spiti valley.
    The park sits at an elevation of
    3,500-5,800 m, not far from the
    Tibetan border.
    Named a!er the Pin river which
    flows down to join the Spiti, the
    park is connected to the Rupi
    Bhabha Sanctuary to its south
    and to the Great Himalayan
    National Park to its southwest.
    The remoteness of the park,
    its majestic, stark landscape
    punctuated with scanty
    vegetation of mostly alpine
    and cedar trees, add to its
    mystique. While it is possible
    to spot its most famous
    inhabitants, the Tibetan wild
    ass or kiang, Siberian ibex and
    Tibetan gazelle, only the lucky
    chance upon rare species such
    as the snow leopard, Tibetan
    wolf, Himalayan red fox and
    Himalayan blue sheep. The park

    is also home to the indigenous


    and prized Chhumurti horses.
    The two most popular trekking
    routes in the park are from
    Kullu valley in the west via the
    Pin Parvati Pass (5,319 m) and
    from Kinnaur in the south via
    the Bhabha valley and the Tari
    Khango Pass (4,900 m).
    Visitors can approach Pin Valley
    through Manali via Kaza, or from
    Shimla via Reckong Peo and
    Sumdo in Kinnaur. The last leg
    of the journey is undertaken on
    foot. Be prepared for an arduous
    trek. Hire a local guide, carry
    proper camping equipment
    and a medical kit with you.
    Trekkers will find company in the
    inquisitive Himalayan marmot,
    mouse hare and snow rabbit
    peeping out of their holes to
    curiously look at visitors.
