Great Himalayan National Park

Spread over 1,171 square kilometers in the western Himalayas, the Great Himalayan National Park is one of India’s most ecologically rich protected areas. It encompasses four major valleys — Tirthan, Sainj, Jiwa Nal, and Parvati — each offering rugged landscapes, dense forests, alpine meadows, and glaciers. The park shelters over 375 fauna species including snow leopard, Himalayan tahr, blue sheep, and Western tragopan.

Trekkers can explore several scenic routes such as Rolla Trek, Shilt Hut Trek, or Rakhundi Top, while those seeking immersive nature experiences can stay in eco-camps or homestays in nearby villages. GHNP remains one of the last untouched wilderness zones of Himachal, offering a rare glimpse into raw Himalayan ecology.
