Hemis National Park

Hundreds of tourists visit the park every year as it is the largest national park in India. Some mountainous regions in the park receive heavy snowfall in winter. There is glacier condensation in this region during summer, so you can expect some flooding. Animals are generally seen near water sources. The Hemis Monastery is located near the boundary of the park.

Know The Climate

Though you can visit Hemis National Park any time of the year to enjoy its natural beauty, most tourists prefer summer as the park receives sufficient warmth and sunlight. Days are slightly warm while nights are cold. It is very cold during winter, so you can expect less vegetation.
