This is probably one of the few parks where altitude range from 1500 mts to 6000 mts with snowcapped mountains, river valleys and steep cliff providing shelter to some of the rare and magnificent flora and fauna of the country.
The park was created in the year 1984 and is officially known as the Jawaharlal Nehru Great Himalayan National Park. The park, which spreads to an area of 754.4 sq kms comprises the watersheds of Jiwa, Sainj and Tirthan rivers and temperate forests. In winters, a huge portion of this park gets covered with snow. This National Park, situated on the mountains is one of the best place to view the exotic wildlife of the Himalayan region.
