LOCATION
The Nanda Devi National Park is
located in the Indian state of Uttaranchal in the upper
Himalayan ranges. A part of the Garhwal Himalayas, the park
extends from the latitude 30°24' in the North to the
longitude 79°53' in the East. The entry to the park is from
Lata village around 23 km from Joshimath. Mountain peaks
surround it from all sides except the west where it is
bounded by an inaccessible gorge.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
Being in the high altitudes, Nanda Devi National Park
has a distinct climate. For six months of the year, the
region remains under a snow cover. For the rest of the year,
the region has a dry climate with heavy rainfall from June
to August. April to June are the months when the temperature
increases a bit and they are the months when one can visit
this place.
