Diverse flora and fauna
As you begin exploring the park, you'll find a diverse array of plants and animals, making it a sanctuary for numerous species. The park is home to 31 mammal species and 25 threatened plant species, including several critically endangered animals like the musk deer, snow leopard, western tragopan, and Himalayan tahr. Additionally, it's a refuge for four globally endangered mammals, three endangered bird species, and several medicinal plants. With 34 out of 47 species of threatened medicinal plants in Himachal Pradesh, the park is truly a haven for nature's wonders. All the species are protected under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.
Home to the elusive Serow
The serow is a goat-antelope that inhabits the high-altitude forests and grasslands of the Himalayas. In 2015, it was first spotted in the park, highlighting the suitability of GHNP as a habitat for this endangered species. This discovery also suggests that there may be more serows present in other areas of the park. How amazing is that?
