From Bharatpedia, an open encyclopedia


Khirganga National Park is a national park in Himachal Pradesh, India established in 2010.

Khirganga National Park is located in Kullu and is known to be one of the most beautiful national parks in the country. Blessed with a scintillating landscape, glossy green hills, dense green shrubberies, tall towering trees and rusty old rest houses, the national park is nothing but a pure visual delight and visiting it is definitely an experience in itself. It covers an area of about 710 square kilometres (270 sq mi).[1][2] Khirganga National Park is located at an altitude of 5500 meters.[3]

The tourists are led on to trespass the trail leading from the centre of the park from where it is easier to spot the exotic and rich flora and fauna. Here, you can also spot several varieties of avifauna belonging to diverse species. Considered to be a haven for nature lovers and the wanderers, the national park is also a good spot to unwind and take a break from the chaos and cacophony of city life.
