About

After 2025's successful trek to PhokteyDara-Phalut peaks in the Singalila Mountain range of West Sikkim Himalaya, we at PARVAT BUDDIES are back with an exciting Himalayan trek for 2026 - this time venturing into the offbeat unexplored Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP) in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh.

About GHNP:

Great Himalayan National Park was constituted in 1984 and was formally notified as a national park in 1999. It is located in Banjaar Sub-Division of Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh, India, in the far Western Himalayas

GHNP was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2014, in recognition of its outstanding significance for biodiversity conservation. The park protects over 1,000 plant species, including many medicinal herbs, 31 mammal species and 209 bird species, as well as amphibians, reptiles and insects. Four of GHNP’s mammal species and three of its bird species are globally threatened, including the musk deer and the western horned tragopan.

GHNP experiences four distinct seasons that shape its ecology and biodiversity: spring (April to June), monsoon/summer (July to September), autumn (October to November), and winter (December to March).
