About Nanda Devi National Park
A spectacular wilderness in the Chamoli district, dominated by the majestic Nanda Devi peak.
Nanda Devi National Park, established in 1982, is one of the most spectacular wilderness areas in the Himalayas. It is dominated by the 7,816m high Nanda Devi peak, India's second-highest mountain. Together with the nearby Valley of Flowers, it forms the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The park is a sanctuary for unique high-altitude flora and fauna. It is home to the elusive Snow Leopard, Himalayan Musk Deer, Himalayan Tahr, and Blue Sheep (Bharal). The landscape comprises glacial basins, high meadows, and deep river gorges.
While the core area of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary is strictly restricted to preserve its ecological integrity, trekking is permitted in the outer zones. Popular treks include the route to the Nanda Devi East Base Camp and the Milam Glacier, offering stunning views of the twin peaks.
