Parvati River is a river in theParvati Valley inHimachal Pradesh, northern India that flows into theBeas River atBhuntar, some 10 km south ofKullu. It rises from the Man Talai Glacier below thePin Parbati Pass and flows in a gradual curve from north-northwest to west-southwest past the important temple town ofManikaran.[1]
The river valley has been a route to various places:Lahul across the Sara Umga La pass,Spiti across the famousPin Parbati Pass, and the recently discovered (1995)Debsa Pass. The river has fine first-growth forests in its upper reaches which are being degraded as a consequence of development of its vast hydro-electric potential. There are geothermal springs on the banks of the river atManikaran and Kheerganga.
