Great Himalayan National Park

The Great Himalayan National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, India, in the mountainous heart of the Western Himalayas. Established in 1984, the park spans 1,171 square kilometers and encompasses an extraordinary elevation range from 1,500 to 6,000 meters, creating a vertical landscape that transitions from subtropical forests through temperate zones to alpine meadows and glacial terrain. This dramatic altitudinal gradient, combined with the park's position at the junction of the Indomalayan and Palearctic biogeographic realms, has produced a remarkable concentration of biodiversity that led to its 2014 UNESCO recognition as a site of outstanding significance for biodiversity conservation. The park protects a habitat home to more than 375 faunal species and diverse flora, making it one of India's most ecologically significant protected areas.
