From Manikaran the easiest child friendly trek to Pin Parvati is to head south to the village of Kheerganga, then follow the Pin Parvati ridge. The first day can be a gentle walk from Manikaran to Kheerganga, staying in a small guest house. The next day you climb the ridge to the pass, which is well marked and not too steep. Early June keeps the weather drier, but by mid July the monsoon can bring showers, so plan to start by the 10th or 11th of June for the smoothest conditions. If you need a base camp near the pass, the Apple Orchard Resort in Dhanaulti is a good nearby option.
