Kishtwar National Park Lies in Doda District, some 40km north-east of Kishtwar Town. It is bounded to the north by the Rinnay River, south by Kibar Nala catchment, east by the main divide of the Great Himalaya and to the west by Marwa River.Based on the revised classification of Champion and Seth (1968), some 13 vegetation types are represented (Bacha, 1986). Faunistically, the area is reputedly among the richest in the Himalaya (Ranjitsinh, 1979). Bacha (1986) lists 14 species of large mammals that are present.The area is a potential tourist attraction but there are almost no facilities at present. Forest rest houses exist at Ekhala and Sirshi.The national park has recently been earmarked as one of seven snow leopard reserves under a project launched by Central Government of India & aimed at conserving the species, its prey populations and its fragile mountain habitat.
