The Great Himalayan National Park

Click here to book online - Wild World India >>

The largest protected area in the state of Himachal Pradesh, the Park nestles within the folds of the amazing Kullu terrain. Lush coniferous forests, emerald meadows strewn with exotic flora, soaring snowy peaks and pristine glaciers make for an ideal Himalayan retreat.

The secluded Sainj and Tirthan valleys are home to a plethora of fauna - wild mountain goats like the bharal, goral and serow, the brown bear and predators like the leopard and the elusive snow leopard. Different varieties of pheasants - monal, khalij cheer, tragopan and other exotic Himalayan birds can be found in the region. An added thrill is the trek to Rakte Sar, the origin of the Sainj river
