The reserve also includes the vast Zemu Glacier. Situated in such an inaccessible expanse, the region has remained untouched to quite a large extent. Covering an area of 1,784 km², the Park occupies as much as 25.14% of the land area of the state. The park was commissioned in 1977 by virtue of its floral, faunal, ecological and geo-morphological importance. It encompasses a wide variety of ecological conditions and is home to several rare plant and animal species. Wildlife conservation remains the Park’s primary goal with anti-poaching efforts constituting a significant proportion of governmental Park management activities.
