"This National Park in the western part of the Himalayan Mountains in the
northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh is characterized by high
alpine peaks, alpine meadows and riverine forests. The 90,540 ha
property includes the upper mountain glacial and snow meltwater sources
of several rivers, and the catchments of water supplies that are vital
to millions of downstream users. The GHNPCA protects the
monsoon-affected forests and alpine meadows of the Himalayan front
ranges. It is part of the Himalaya biodiversity hotspot and includes
twenty-five forest types along with a rich assemblage of fauna species,
several of which are threatened. This gives the site outstanding
significance for biodiversity conservation." -http://whc.unesco.org
