About Great Himalayan

Great Himalayan National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing spectacular high-altitude wilderness in the western Himalayas. The park's catchment rivers feed the water supply of millions downstream, making it both a biodiversity sanctuary and a critical watershed. Snow leopards prowl its upper ridges while the western tragopan inhabits the dense subalpine forest.
