Situated at the base of Nanda Devi peak,
India’s second highest peak; the Nanda Devi National Park is situated in
the higher ranges of Himalaya in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand in North India. Designated as the World Heritage Site, the park has unique topography and supports several habitats, species and eco-systems. The Nanda Devi basin was declared a sanctuary

Trekking is
the most popular activity in the national park. The trek begins from
the Lata village to Dharasi (4250 mt) – the highest point of the region.
In 1982, access to trekkers was banned to protect the biodiversity.
However recently, tourists in small numbers are allowed to visit the
park.
There are very few accommodation options near the national park. Visitors can choose to stay in the hotels at Joshimath or else at Badrinath. There are hardly any restaurants within the park. It is advisable to carry food hamper and water.
The best time to visit the national park is during the months of
April and October. During these months, the park is not covered under
snow.
Itiadoh Dam is located near Morgaon Arjuni tehsil and has the length and height of 505 m and 29.85 m respectively. This dam serves districts like Gondia, Ghadchiroli and Bhandra in managing paddy irrigation.
