The Great Himalayan National Park
The
largest protected area in Himachal Pradesh, the Park is carved out of the
splendid mountain terrain of the Kullu district.
Rich coniferous
forests, alpine meadows carpeted with flowers, snow-capped peaks and
glaciers provide a breathtaking panorama.
The secluded Sainj and
Tirthan valleys harbor a variety of animals common to this area - wild
mountain goats like the bharal, goral and serow, the brown bear and
predators like the leopard and the rarely seen snow leopard.
Varieties
of colourful pheasants - monal, khalij cheer, tragopan and other Himalayan
birds are part of its rich avian population.
Trekking through the
Park to Rakte Sar, the origin of the Sainj River, brings in the added
pleasure of seeing wildlife in this spectacular natural environment.
