Visiting the Park
Fees and Rules
There are fees for entering the Park and additional fees for cameras, video and filming. Rates for Indian nationals are lower than foreigners. Check with Park officials for the latest entrance fees and requirements.
Insurance
All multi-day foreign visitors must provide evidence of insurance coverage in the event that emergency medical or evacuation procedures are needed.
Disruption of Trekking Routes and Trails
Main Park trails are commonly impacted by floods and landslides. They are often impassable and/or temporarily re-routed. In the Sainj Valley, the trail beyond Shakti and the section between Neuli and Bah, are in quite poor condition and require care while trekking. Trails and bridges are constructed and maintained by the Park staff. Staff should be contacted for trail status when planning a trek in these areas.
Trekking Routes
All four valleys of GHNP offer moderate to strenuous treks. Serious, multi-day trekking in the Park requires adequate preparation, physical training, good health, and stamina since all routes contain serious up and down terrain. The potential for unexpected cold weather also demands proper outfitting.
There are two main options for visiting GHNP: (1) the Ecozone, and (2) the interior of GHNP.
