Today you will start your journey towards Mulling from Kafnu. The early part of the stretch is the road leading towards the Hydel project in the Valley. So you will have to get to the other side of the reservoir from where you are camping and get cracking on the road. The road continues for about an hour. The river will be flowing to your left and you will be able to see multiple snow bridges over the river which get formed due to excessive snowfall in winters and start to melt with the onset of summers. The trail is very well marked as it is used by the locals who camp at a certain place for a very specific reason, something we'll discuss later on. So now the trail will start to gain altitude and at a point you will be able to see a forest down below. This is where the trail descends into the lush green coniferous forests and the trail is almost on level with the river. Not many Himalayan treks have this kind of a setting. It usually at higher altitudes that the trail is somewhat on the same level as the river. Spend some time here and have your lunch once you are on the forest floor. Continuing the journey ahead you will cross multiple small ridges which are grasslands in essence, to finally reach the Mulling camping site which is marked by a hut which is owned by the forest department and is abandoned for the most part of the year. You can setup camp inside the hut or outside whatever you seem fit. Coming to real part that is the campsite of Mulling. The river will be flowing right in front of you and there is a huge patch of grass on the other side which later transcends into a pine forest and at the very top of the mountain you will find an overhanging glacier protruding out, now this is a pretty uncommon site by any standards, at this altitude. Among many other things which make the Pin Bhaba trek so full of contrast.

Today we move from the Forests of Mulling to the Grasslands of Kara. The trail moves through the forests and the incline is very gradual. You will move and climb up on a mountain side and trail will move to your right and then you will be able to see the lush green valley which is totally covered with green velvet like grass, off course you will have to time your visit right. That is around July to see the valley of Kara in all it's glory. As you come down you will find lots of potential places to camp however you should not stop till you find a spot that has been dug up by companies which treat treks like mass boot camps. Anyways, you should setup camp here and if you are here in July you will find a lot of sheep here which come from Kinnaur and will make a crossover to Pin valley following the same route as you. The campsite is straight out of fiction and is almost too good to be true. If you were to go 50 meters up on the mountain you have camped on, you will find the Kara Lake which offers, out of the world reflections of the surrounding mountains when the water is still during early morning. Fun fact: Remember that people of Bhaba Valley come to Kara for a specific purpose? The locals climb up on the lush green mountains of Kara to in search of exotic Jadibooti (herbs) which are rather expensive and are seasonal. These sell upwards of Rs.1,00,000 per kg. However the rights to pluck these off the mountain is reserved for the locals, in case you might feel adventurous.

Today we move towards Phustirang which will be the basecamp to the Bhaba Pass. Cross the river in Kara as early as possible before the flow increases. Once you cross over you will see that there are two streams that merge to become one. You will follow the stream that is coming from the mountain on which Kara is, not the other one. So follow the stream against it's direction of flow and you will find the trail gaining altitude fast. The trail is full of wild flowers of color Blue, Yellow and red. Continue and you will reach Campsite 1 in Phustirang. Don't stop here 30 more minutes. Continue on the trail as it goes for a steep ascent and you will find yourself in paradise. This is the advance base camp of Phustirang. Essentially a high altitude delta of streams.

Today you will stay in Phustirang as this is your rest day. You will enjoy the high altitude delta of streams flowing off the various glaciers from the surrounding peaks. The campsite is as plain as it gets and is honestly after the steep ascent to Phustirang. Drink a lot of water as it helps in Acclimatisation. Fun Fact : There is only one catch to the Pin Bhaba Pass that is the route to the Pin Bhaba pass from the advance base camp of Phustirang.Once you are at the river delta. The route to the Pin Bhaba Pass is on your right not straight. You will have to climb up on the mountain to your right to get to the pass.

Today is the day you cross over to the other side. Remember to start as early as possible ideally 5 AM because the snow will melt as the sun rises and will make your journey difficult. One can never be sure how much snow is actually there at the pass as snowfall can happen anytime given it's height. So it is safe to start early morning. The trail is not gradual to say the least it gains altitude very rapidly and you will be out of breath more than once on the way up. There will be 2 instances where you think you have reached the pass only to find out that it is a mere hump and pass is far away. By 11 AM you should reach the pass and spend some time there. See the stark difference between the Pin Valley and Kinnaur. The descent is easy. If you see enough snow you can slide down. Then onwards the route is through the glacier laden with snow, You will have to get to the right side of the river generating from the pa ss. and march forward till Mangurese. Try to cover as much distance as possible because next day is going to be a long and scenic walk.

Today you will have to cover a rather long distance but the views will sweep you off your feet. After walking for 1 hour and with the trail bending towards the right into the larger Pin Valley. You will be awestruck by the sheer vastness of the Valley. The stark shades of Purple and crimson on the mountains almost seem unreal and can be attributed to the fact that this region used to be under the ancient Tethys sea. The Pin Valley is a fossil rich zone and is a protected area. You will witness proper mountains rising into the sky from where the trail passes. There are a few tricky water crossings in this area and you don’t want to cross them in a haste. Then there are the Shepherds whom you will see on your way. Do drop by to say hi!. If you are lucky enough you will see the Changspa Horses roaming freely ,now these are indigenous to Pin Valley and are highly valued. 3 hours into the walk you will get first glimpses of Mudh. But it will take you another 8 hours to reach there. You will lastly have to cross a bridge over the river to cross over into Mudh over the furious Pin River. There are many options of stay here.
