Hemis National Park

In Ladakh, Hemis National Park is a wildlife sanctuary that’s home to Ladakh’s snow leopard. Spread across 4,400 square kilometers of rugged terrain, this park sits in the eastern part of Ladakh and is the largest national park in South Asia. The landscape here gives you a proper Ladakho vibe- rocky cliffs, barren land, and endless stretches of meadows that change colors with the seasons.

Looking to spot some rare wildlife? Many visitors planning their Leh Ladakh tour packages make Hemis National Park a must-visit stop. Besides the snow leopard, you’ll find Tibetan wolves, bharal (blue sheep), and Ladakhi land roaming freely. The park sits at an altitude between 3,300 and 6,000 meters, making it perfect for adventure lovers and wildlife lovers looking for a unique experience.
