Charu travelled with India Untravelled on our Spiti Kaleidoscope trip.

Parvati Valley is nestled comfortably amongst conifers and mighty deodars in the Kullu district of the Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh. The valley, no stranger to backpackers and tourists, has some of the most beautiful villages in the state.
