    Animal Pass And Tosh Valley Trek

    The Tosh is a feeder valley of the popular Parvati Valley which leads to the Pin Parvati Pass. The Tosh Nallah meets the Parbati River at Pulga coming from the North. The Tosh valley is initially narrow but as you progress higher the valley starts to open up and you cross several beautiful meadows ,the trail broadens with a vast stretch of lush foliage. With its great options for fun and excitement, this trek has no dearth of surprises. This beautiful and serene valley is one of the most beautiful, where you can meander through the lush green expanses of meadows.At the head of the valley is the Tosh Glacier surrounded by some well-known peaks: Papasura (6451m) & White Sail (6446m).
