Govind National Park, Dehradun, Uttarakhand India

Govind National Park, also known as Govind Pashu Vihar, was established to save the increasingly endangered species. The park is located in the Purola Tehsil of Uttarakashi district in Uttarakhand. Naitwar is the entrance and starting point of the sanctuary.

The Govind wild life Sanctuary and National Park is located in a remote area in the district Uttarkashi also known as Govind Pashu Vihar. The wonderfully remote Har ki Dun (3510m) is a botanical paradise criss-crossed by glacial streams and surrounded by pristine forests and snowy peaks spread over an area of 957.969 sq. kms with a varying altitude of 1,300 m to 6,323 m. River Tons enriches the entire area with its sediments and helps the vegetation in the sanctuary to grow uninhibited. This area is extremely rich in medicinal plants and is a treasure trove for those versed in Ayurveda.
