The Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP) and the adjacent Sainj and Tirthan Wildlife Sanctuaries, represents a significant area (1,171 sq. km) that will be untouched by modern day development and exploitation. The Park ensures a unique protected area for both appreciation and study. The region contains a wide range of habitats that represent and support the Western Himalaya's large and varied ecosystems. GHNP is an investment in the physical, mental, and spiritual well being of the Indian people as well as visitors from abroad.

Visitors to the Park will bring away unique experiences of nature provided by the Himalaya's unspoiled majesty. The Park administration oversees a broad spectrum of educational and research programs serving the local communities and visitors. Lectures, poster presentations at information centers, and the opportunity to actively participate in on-going research effort in the Long Term Ecological Monitoring program (LTEM) are all activities of GHNP.
