About this

Hemis National Park protects high-altitude desert terrain above 3,000 metres where snow leopards, Himalayan ibex and brown bears share space with migratory birds. Winter treks across frozen riverbeds allow visitors to track animal signs in snow without disturbing summer pastures. Monasteries inside the park boundary hold centuries-old manuscripts and wall paintings that record local Buddhist traditions. Limited road access and strict seasonal closures keep annual visitor numbers low, preserving both wildlife corridors and cultural sites.
