Inderkilla National Park, National park in Himachal Pradesh, India
Inderkilla National Park is a protected mountain area in Himachal Pradesh that spans multiple elevation zones. The terrain shifts between dense forests, open meadows, and rocky slopes as you move through the park.
The park was created in 2010 to protect the region's ecosystems and endangered wildlife. This establishment reflected a growing commitment to safeguarding the mountain areas in the Himalayan range.
Local communities near the park have kept their traditional ways of living and now work alongside conservation efforts. Visitors can experience this connection to the land through walks and encounters with people who have lived here for generations.
The best time to visit is spring and early summer when conditions are mild and animals are easier to spot. You will need a permit to enter, and good footwear plus layered clothing is important because of the changing elevations.
The park is home to snow leopards, one of the world's rarest wild cats that roam these mountains and are extremely difficult to spot. This presence makes it an important refuge for one of the most endangered big cats on the planet.
