National Park, Himachal |

| |
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 colourful pheasants -monal, khalij cheer, tragopan
and other Himalayan birds are part of its rich avian population.
Trekking through the Park to Rakte Sar, the origin of the
Sainj River, brings in the added pleasure of seeing wildlife
in this spectacular natural environment.
