| | Mountaineering | For the more adventurous trekker we offer the challange of this expedetion. The Great Himalayan National Park has numerous peaks which are unclimbed and unnamed. With an average altitude of 5000 meters, these peaks have never been tried by any mountaineer due to their remoteness and permissions from the Park Authority. Mountaineering is an experience and education that awakens and makes one aware of the splendid diversity that nature has to offer to us. Mountaineering inspires a man to attain that elusive peak within himself. Sunshine’s expert team, with the help of the Western Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and East West Rescue will be responsible for the much needed planning, specialized equipment, technical guidance as well as expertise on mountain slopes.
If you have the enthusiasm and a determined desire to conquer the mountains, peaks of Kullu are the best resort for you. The Beas Kund (3690m), Inderkeel Parvat (6220m), Hanuman Tibba (5930m), and Deo Tibba (6001m) are most popular amongst the climbers. Certain peaks of the Western Himalayas in Kullu lie hitherto unexplored.

| | Personal Development | The Ecozone areas are adjacent to the Great Himalayan National Park and provide a combination of natural and cultural experiences. The trails go through villages and are generally easy to moderate. The best time to visit is during the Dushera Festival (usually in October). This is a major Hindu cultural and religious event celebrating the victory of good over evil in the “Ramayana”. Hundreds of local village deities are brought to Kullu from the surrounding villages. An exciting display of people, music, costumes, special exhibitions, foods, etc., fill the mountain roads and towns. Not to be missed!
The Spring festivals (generally in April) also offer opportunities to watch and participate in important, local cultural events. Holidays include: Basant Panchami, Phagli, Sainj mela, Banjar mela.

Sanjeeva Pandey, Director Great Himalayan National Park
Our stressful life in present times often demand a get-a-way to a place which has low level of habitations, remoteness, inaccessibility, low rate of tourist visitation, and company of such people who do not depend on monstrous machines of the modern society. Personally, I find all these features together at the natural realm of the Great Himalayan National Park. A climb to the Park is a lifetime experience in physical, mental and spiritual well being of my own self. Standing at the Dhel ridge at 3,737-meter altitude, and looking at the panoramic view of the western Himalayan range is my most rewarding experiences in nature appreciation. |
