The Nanda Devi National Park has been closed since 1982 to protect its bio-diversity and only now parts of the park have been open to the interested tourist. None less than Sir Edmund Hilary has described the sanctuary in glowing terms as "the training ground for adventure in India".

Nandadevi Second Highest peak of Indian Himalayas
The two peak massif of Nanda Devi is the highest mountain in the Garhwal Himalayas and the second highest (after Kanchenjunga) in the whole of India. The tremendously unapproachable basin has been named the ‘Nanda Devi Sanctuary’. The Rishi Ganga River originates here and then flows down from Nanda Devi to create a deep valley.

Nanda Devi in the highest peak in the Indian Garhwal Himalaya. The mountain has two summits, the main summit at 7816m (25,643ft) and Nanda Devi East at 7434m (24,389ft). The mountain itself in surrounded by a number of peaks over 21,000ft, making it an extremely difficult mountain to access. This circle of peaks forms what is known as the Nanda Devi Sanctuary.

Nanda Devi National Park
In the vicinity of Nanda Devi is situated the Nanda Devi National Park, which has some of the most unique high altitude flora and fauna in the world. The park has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. The Government of India declared it later Biosphere Reserve. All these status were given to save the park from tourists disturbances and pollution, the fame and mystic of the area led to an excess of expeditions and ecological damage. The Sanctuary was closed in 1984. Since may 2003, it is open again under very strict rules.
