The Great Himalayan National Park lies at the junction of two of the world’s major faunal realms- the Indomalayan and the Palaearctic. It shelters a range of species that are compactly packed in the considerably small area they occupy.
Twenty-five types of forests in the Park host a rich variety of uncommon, endemic and endangered fauna, some of which are threatened. Therefore, the Great Himalayan National Park is a high priority conservation zone.
The Park is characterized by high alpine peaks, alpine meadows and riverine forests. The number of plant species in the Park is estimated to be 25,000. This composes 10 per cent of the world’s known species and 50 per cent of India’s endemic flora.
