Park

| Sitoon Idols, Lata Village Nanda Devi National Park |
This website provides links to detailed
information about the history, geography, and cultural heritage of the NandaDevi National Park and trekking in the Himalayas. This is an attempt to create
a bridge between the global travelers and local people of Lata village, the
gateway to the Nanda Devi National park. In case you want to visit Nanda Devi
National Park, the best option is to talk to the people who actually live in
that area and are the real custodians of the natural and cultural wealth of the region. This webpage offers a unique interpretive trek to the Nanda Devi,
managed by the local community of Lata. All the services are professionally
managed including pickup and travel
logistics from the Delhi airport if required.
The Campaign for community owned tourism in
Nanda Devi is almost two decades old. Follow links to know more about our
Campaign for Cultural Survival and Sustainable Livelihoods in the High Himalayas. The Nanda Devi Campaign has received international recognition
including World Travel and Tourism Council’s people award.

Interpretive Nature Trail to Nanda Devi National Park
Why Interpretive Trek !
An interpretive trek is a communication tool to make aware the visitors
about the various aspects of the destination. Most often the trip to a popular
destination ends up by just physically browsing a place without any takeaways in terms of knowing
the ‘value’ of that place. An interpretive trail designed for nature and
cultural interpretation actively engages the visitors revealing different aspects
and telling stories as the visitor walks along the trail.
If you are looking for more in-depth
information about the nature and culture of Nanda Devi, we advice you to visit
the blog post by Narendra, a village Lata based lodge owner and a core member
of this campaign. His views are definitely subjective but the compilation of
information is authentic. Click here for detailed information on Nanda Devi.
The Main objective of this web-page is to
inform you about the community led unique interpretative trekking option in the Nanda Devi
National Park. Starting from 29 April to 17 June 2019, you can
avail the opportunity to join the Interpretive Trek to Nanda Devi National
Park. The aim of the interpretative trek is to offer an all immersive
experience of the physical and cultural landscape of the Nanda Devi region. Efforts
are on to establish a museum and interpretation center on bio culture diversity
of the Nanda Devi Region.
The interpretive trek takes you to the boundaries of the Nanda Devi National Park, a World Heritage Site
for natural diversity. You will be camping at clifftop campsite at Kanook and
at Lata Kharak below the treeline. The trek also provides the opportunity to
visit Saini Kharak, at the top of the riverine Rishi gorge which is considered
to be amongst the most difficult canyons in the world to negotiate. However you
won't be doing any climbing but will approach from the much gentler Lata-Kharak
side. The maximum altitude gain during the trek is 4180 m at Jhindidar, from
where the trail descends to village Tolma, a beautiful small Himalayan village
of 18 families only.
It’s a six days program including two days of
travel from the nearest railway station/airport near Rishikesh/Haridwar. The reporting center of the trek is at Devangan Lodge, village Lata.
