Bounded by Himalayas from all the sides, the Great Himalayan National Park in Himachal Pradesh offers lush meadows, snow clad peaks, the enchanting Tirthan River and Himalayan flora and fauna. It has distinct, endangered and regionally endemic Himalayan species - Himalayan Musk Deer and Snow Leopard being the prominent ones. Seek adventure on the Great Himalayan National Park Trek and spend days amidst the Himalayas by the Tirthan River. Trekking here is the best way to explore around as the National Park has beautiful parts of the Tirthan, Sainaj, Jiwanal and Parvati Valley named after the rivers that originate in the Park. The Oak forests, blooming rhododendron trees, sparkling rivers, unexplored peaks, and the sight of rare animals and birds will make your experience amazing!
Our trek starts from Gushaini from where we walk towards Rola along the Tirthan River to reach the gate of the national park and finally reach Shilt. We will witness a distinct culture as soon as we enter the villages of the park. The place is so isolated and away from the hustle bustle of the towns and cities that locals have developed their own traditions and culture. It will be fascinating to experience that! GHNP has limited options for accommodation, so homestays and camping are the best options to stay and admire the beauty of the place.
When we visit these kind of remote places, we have to understand that the locals and the communities who live here have limited resources due to harsh climatic conditions and accessibility issues. So we will make sure that we travel responsibly, create awareness about eco- tourism and contribute to the development of the society.
