Pin Parvati Pass Trek : Conquering the heights

Since last year we sahyadri trek members have been planning to do a himalayan trek together, rather we all were waiting for opportunity to do a himalayan trek with Ajay kaka.                                     Ajay kaka has lead many expeditions in his 30-40 yrs trekking career  ( he has completed his basic and advance mountaineering course even before we were born ) , his stories always inspire us , its always a great privilege to trek with him and doing a himalayan trek with him is like attending the trekking institution , kaka came up with the idea of doing pin parvati pass trek which is not technical climb but difficult enough to challenge ourselves. Some of us were trekking outside sahyadri for the first time hence ajay kaka wisely selected this trek considering ease of access to manali in case of emergency situations.

The way we plan our trip is , we keep two days for a single location and that way Manipur was supposed to be 10 Days tour but on day one itself while walking on the busy streets of Imphal we realized we have already covered mos

“with house nowhere, I belong everywhere” I was eating through the pages of “The shooting star” by Shivya Nath, experiences of modern day digital nomad and her travel throughout the globe when pilot made announcement of landing on Chandigarh airport.   Flight from Pune to Chandigarh was through cloud and turbulences and I could see the reason why, when we landed in Chandigarh, murky river and water filled fields were sight which I was not used to seeing in north Indian city at this time of the year, we knew our trek is not going to be rain free. “Depression has been formed in Indian ocean causing untimely heavy rains” Vikram supplied the information, rainfall pattern had been weird this year otherwise this late into the September we should only be getting clear sky and warm afternoon up in the hills. We were in Chandigarh and on the way to Shimla for our Buran ghati trek with Indiahikes, trek rated as one of the most beautiful meadows trek, but with weather like this we did
