The highest mountain ranges in the world and geologically speaking,
the youngest, the
Himalayas
offer some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world .With diverse habitats,
animal life is varied too.
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 harbour 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 colorful pheasants – monal, khalij cheer, tragopan and other
Himalayan birds are part of its rich avian population.
Trekking through the Park

Sainj
River
, brings in the added pleasure of seeing wildlife in this spectacular natural
environment.
