Great Himalayan National Park in January
Himachal Pradesh, India
Most trails are closed by snow and avalanche risk in January
January buries the Great Himalayan National Park under snow. The lower ecozone trails may be passable but the core zone is inaccessible.
The January story
Only for experienced winter trekkers with proper gear. The Tirthan Valley homestays remain open and offer a quiet winter retreat, but the park itself is effectively closed.
