Trekking in the Great Himalayan National Park
GHNP is a biodiversity hotspot and a World Heritage Site. Because it is a protected area, there are no roads or facilities within the Park. The only way to explore the pristine wilderness is by foot.
Trekkers are allowed to trek in GHNP with recognised and experienced guides because it is easy to get lost in the Park and to safeguard the flora and fauna within the Park.
We organise multi-day treks in GHNP. Our treks are led by members from our cooperative. A trained guide and his team lead all our trekking groups. Our team ensures the trekkers are comfortable and the wildlife is not harmed.
Apart from their expertise in navigating the trekking trails in GHNP, our team of locals have strong knowledge of the region and will explain the history and formation of the Park and the fauna and flora in the GHNP.
Himalayan Ecotourism invites you to experience the hospitality of the Himalayan people.
Guides for Trek in Great Himalayan National Park
Our guides who will accompany you on the treks are a part of a cooperative, which is recognised by the Park administration.
Our cooperative has been created to empower the local community and to avoid destructive competition among local guides. The rules are decided by everyone in the cooperative and all members are trained to lead treks, handle equipment, and keep trekkers and the Park safe.
Through this system, our cooperative members enjoy good working conditions and our guests gain a good trekking experience.

Great Himalayan National Park Trek Permit
The GHNP administration charges a fee per day for trekking in the Park.
The trekking fees for GHNP treks are collected in order to maintain the bridges over rivers and the trekking trails, which tend to get damaged during landslides in the monsoon and because of fallen trees.
The Park administration uses the funds to support other tasks such as preserving wildlife, identifying species, counting birds, and setting up camera traps to collect information and aid conservation work.
GHNP trekking permit
To go beyond the gate of the GHNP you will need to have a trekking permit.
Great Himalayan National Park Office
Office of the GHNP
The local office of the GHNP is located at Sairopa in the Tirthan valley.
The GHNP office is located in Sairopa.
This is where trekkers can get the GHNP trekking permit. A permit is necessary to trek in the Park and only a set number of permits are issued each year to avoid overtourism and any damage to the Park.
The office offers visitors introductory nature walks. The office campus also includes an arboretum with a variety of trees that are representative of the species found in the Park.
Contact us for organising your trek, we will arrange the permit for you. We will include the trekking permit fee in your tour package.
When to Trek in the Great Himalayan National Park
You can visit the Great Himalayan National Park anytime but the best time to trek in the Great Himalayan National Park is from April to June and September to November.
We avoid trekking in GHNP during the monsoon as the trails are overgrown and wild animals like bears could be found hiding in the grass. Landslides are also common in the region at this time of the year.
Winter too is not the best time to trek because of the extreme cold and snowfall. However, shorter treks along some trekking routes can be organised in winter.
Trekking season
Autumn is one of the best season to trek the GHNP and enjoy the colorful nature.
