Govind NATIONAL PARK

Govind National Park is undoubtedly one of the most exotic national parks in the Garhwal region. Situated at higher altitudes, it is one of the most most important areas for the conservation of Snow Leopard and Bearded Vulture.

The park is also known as Govind Pashu Vihar National Park and wildlife sanctuary and is named after the famed freedom fighter, Govind Ballabh Pant, who later became the Home Minister and is also known for establishing Hindi as an official language. Its snow-covered mountains gift this landscape with breathtaking views along with rare wildlife. The park is categorized as a Snow Leopard Reserve under the Snow Leopard Conservation Project by the Indian Government and also plays a very important role in the conservation of the Bearded Vulture, along with many other rare animals who manage to live at such high altitudes. The Tons river enriches the park and helps in the growth of foliage.
