Mud Village—Trailhead For Trekkers, Landmark For Geologists
Share on FacebookShare on WhatsappShare on Twitter

At an impressive altitude of 3,810 meters, Mud village occupies a stunning position on the left bank of the Pin River, a tributary feeding into the larger Spiti River. This charming settlement rests at the base of towering mountains, with peaks rising nearly 1,600 meters above the valley floor. Known as a gateway to the wilds of Pin Valley National Park, it also marks the starting point for the thrilling Pin-Parbati trek to Kullu and the Pin-Bhaba route to Kinnaur.

Yet, amid all the excitement of adventure, Mud has a compelling geological narrative. In the 1860s, geologist Ferdinand Stoliczka discovered the Muth Succession, a geological formation he named after Mud. This finding, now known as the Muth Formation, has a thickness of 258–300 meters and is distinguished by its weather-resistant white quartz arenite. Stoliczka’s work sparked interest among geologists, prompting extensive fieldwork in this beautiful terrain of the Pin Valley.
