Hiii Everyone,
I would got some information about Hemis National Park.
Hemis National Park
The park houses numerous Tibetan gompas and holy chortens within its boundaries. These include the famous 400-year-old Hemis Monastery. Hemis was a destination and via point on the silk routes of Tibet.
Over 1,600 people live inside the park presently, with a large number
of tourists and pilgrims visiting during the Hemis Tsechu festival.This region is in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, and does not receive much precipitation. Hence, dry forests of juniper, Populus - Salix forests, subalpine dry birch - fir
are present at lower altitudes. You will find alpine and steppe trees
predominantly at Hemis High National Park. These trees and shrubs are
spread across the valley bottoms. Since the upper mountain slopes are
moist, this area is characterized by alpine vegetation including:
Anemone,Gentiana, Thallctrwn, Lloydia, Veronica, Delphinum, Care.x and
Kobresia. The other parts of the park support steppe vegetation which is
dominated by Caragana, Artemisia, Stachys, and Ephedra, present along
the lower river courses.
Hemis National Park is a high altitude national park in the eastern Ladakh region of the state of Jammu and Kashmir in India.
World famous for being the best place to see the snow leopard in the
wild, it is believed to have the highest density of snow leopards of any
protected area in the world. It is the only national park in India north of the Himalayas, the largest notified protected area in India (and thus the largest national park of India), and is the second largest contiguous protected area after the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve and surrounding protected areas. The park is home to a number of species of endangered mammals including the snow leopard. Hemis National Park is India's only protected area inside the Palearctic ecozone, outside the Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary northeast of Hemis, and the proposed Tso Lhamo Cold Desert Conservation Area in North Sikkim.

The
Hemis High Altitude National Park that extends over 600 sq. km. is
named after the famous monastery, Hemis gompa that is situated 40 km.
southeast of Leh. Located on the west bank of the Indus River, it
comprises the catchments of Markha, Rumbak and Sumdah nalas. It is known
for some rare species like the bharal and the snow leopard. Hemis has
in fact been identified as a snow leopard reserve under a project
launched by the Central Government aimed at conserving the species, its
prey base and its fragile mountainous home. - See more at:
