Great Himalayan National Park, National park in Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India.

The Great Himalayan National Park encompasses 1,171 square kilometers of mountain terrain with valleys, peaks, coniferous forests, and alpine meadows between 1,500 and 6,000 meters elevation.

The Indian government established this protected area in 1984, leading to formal national park status in 1999 and UNESCO World Heritage designation in 2014.

Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices of collecting medicinal herbs and performing rituals connected to the mountain landscape.

The months from March to June and September to November provide optimal conditions for trekking and wildlife observation within the park boundaries.

The park contains 375 bird species, including the Western Tragopan, and serves as a sanctuary for endangered mammals like snow leopards and Himalayan tahr.
