The Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP) is considered the most pristine mountain landscape in the Western Himalayas. It is home to about 215 species of birds including pheasants like the Western Tragopan, Cheer, Monal, Koklash and Kaleej along with other birds like the White Throated Tit and the Lammergeyer plus a large number of animals. The Tragopan is locally known as jujurana—the king of birds. The people of the region believe that God created the Tragopan with feathers from all the other birds. The trekking expedition will be focused on spotting this bird, but will also provide ample opportunities to just enjoy the great Himalayan outdoors.
