Hemis High Altitude National Park, India
In eastern Ladakh, this is one of the largest national parks in the subcontinent and the only Indian national park located north of the Himalayan Mountain Range. The Indus River and portions of the Zanskar Mountain Range serve as its borders. Established in 1981 to protect its dense population of snow leopards, there likely isn’t another protected area in the world with more of the animals.
