Bhaba (aka Bhapa or Tarik La) Pass
The Bhaba (aka Bhapa Pass, Tarik or Tari Khango La) lies at the head of a beautiful alpine valley and marks the division between the forests of Himachal Pradesh and the arid expanse of Spiti. On the northern side of the pass you follow the Pin river to Mud and this route is often combined with the more demanding Parvati Pass route to/from Manali, thus the Pin Parvati trek. For those who don’t have the time or energy to attempt the whole route, this leg is a wonderful taste of Himalayan trekking.
