Himalayan National Park
National Parks provide ample opportunities to the visitors to have a close encounters with the wilds. Indian National Parks is the variance that they are equipped with. Whether it comes to the flora, fauna or witnessing various wild animals in their natural surroundings.
The Himalayan National Park Was Notified In 1984. The Himalayas are the longest, tallest and eulogistically youngest mountains on our planet. This is located in Kullu
and it is the latest addition to India's National Park (located In Kullu Region Of Himachal Pradesh)
In 1980 Himachal wildlife Project 
survey of the upper beas region, including the watersheds of the Tirthan sainj and the Jiwanal in the banjar area of kullu district led to the the notification of the Great Himalayan National park in 1984. The procedure
for the resettlement of villages that existed within the boundaries of the park started in 1988 but the final notification for the park only happened in 1999, 15 years after the park had been demarcated after lot of hurdles.
The great Himalayan national park has almost 375 fauna species that comprises of
nearly around 31 mammals, 181 birds, 3 reptiles, 9 amphibians, 11 annelids, 17
mollusks and 127 insects. They are protected under the strict guidelines of wildlife protection act of 1972 hence hunting is totally banned. The Great Himalayan National Park in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh consists of the watersheds of the Jiwa, Sainj and Tirthan rivers. The relative isolation of the park has meant that large parts of the forest here continue to remain undisturbed. And the wide range of altitudes within the park-from 6,000ft to over 18,000ft-has resulted in a range of floral and faunal life.
The trek from Gushaini, a small village near the entrance of the park, to Nada Thach, a high alpine meadow, shows you a little bit of this variety. The first day of trekking takes you through dense, temperate broad leaf forests that run along the banks of the Tirthan river. You start ascending on the second day-and as you move up you pass through forests of oak and deodar, which then give way to Himalayan fir and brown oak. Every once in a while you'll hear the warning call of the Koklass pheasant and, if you're lucky, you'll see a ghoral scampering across a rock surface. The climb to Nada Thach takes you to the edge of the tree line-in summer the grassland is carpeted with alpine flowers of every colour.

The Sai Ropa range office just 5 Km before Gushaini issues entry permits for the park
In the Sanj valley, there is an inspection hut at lapahand two more range offices one at Larje and another at Sainj. Time To Visit The Great Himalayan National Park is open throughout the year. April - May is the best time to visit. By this time the snow melts and the ground is clearof the grass that makes climbing difficult, September To mid November is also a good time to visit the park. The Monsoon rain and the winter snow make trekking fairly difficult but its only in winters that animals like the Snow Leopard and tahu descend from higher altitudes.
STD Code: 01902
Climate:
GHNP is hotter during the summer and receives more rains in monsoon season, quite contrary to the climate condition prevailing in the upper beas region of Himachal Pradesh. Also during winters there is less snowfall making the climate more like other places of Himachal Pradesh like Shimla or Solan.
