Car

After approximately 40 km, look for the sign for the Great Himalayan National Park. Follow the road signs leading you to Gushaini, which is the main entry point for the park. Once you reach Gushaini, you will find parking areas available. Note that the road to the park can be narrow and winding, so drive carefully.

If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from Kullu or Manali. It is advisable to negotiate the fare beforehand.
