Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP) is India’s youngest national park located in Kullu district in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India.
The park was established in 1984 and is spread over an area of 1,171 km² at an altitude of between 1500 to 6000 meters above sea level.
The Great Himalayan National Park is habitat to numerous flora and more than 375 fauna species, including approximately 31 mammals, 181 birds, 3 reptiles, 9 amphibians, 11 annelids, 17 mollusks and 127 insects and off course lots and lots of virgin adventure.

In June 2014, the Great Himalayan National Park was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.The Unesco World Heritage Site Committee granted the status to the park under the criteria of “outstanding significance for biodiversity conservation”.

Shangharh from where the trek will start is a remote & exotic Himalayan hamlet at an altitude of around 1921 mts (6300 feet) ASL situated in Sainj valley surrounded by GHNP and is home to beautiful golf ground like natural meadow which said to be belonging to local devta (god) hidden from onslaught of regular party tourists.
Couple of years back only way to reach this amazingly beautiful serene place was a 3-4 hour moderate trek from town of Neuli but recent developments connected it through a motorable road to Ropa to which a tarmac road leads from Sainj and Delhi-Manali highway.
Shangharh is basically 55 kms while coming from Mandi (Chandigarh side) and 45 kms while coming from Kullu (Manali side)
