[di più]Nanda Devi is the second highest peak in India and the highest which is entirely within the country (Everest and Kachenjunga both straddle borders with neighbouring countries). It is a two-peaked mountain and it sits within the Nanda Devi National Park, an area of outstanding importance, which has been recognised by the UNESCO World Heritage committee who added it to their list of Heritage sites in 1988.
The high altitude park covers an area of more than 630 square kilometres and along with the Valley of Flowers National Park it forms part of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve which is home to a number of endangered species.
