Nanda Devi National Park, India
Nanda Devi National Park is revered as one of the most sacred places in India, because the mother of all Indian rivers - the Ganges - springs from here. Nanda Devi National Park includes in its territory the peak of Nanda-Devi (7816 m). Against the backdrop of the snow-capped peaks, a carpet of 312 species of flowers, alpine mosses and lichens unfolds before you. Rare species of animals such as Himalayan baral, Himalayan tar, serau (goat-antelopes), gorals (goats), black and brown bears, leopards, the famous snow leopards can be seen here. It is interesting to see the suspension bridge over the Bharagiti river gorge. The best time to visit is from April to June, and the nearest town is Joshimath, 23 km from the park entrance at Lata village.
