The park contains 15 mammal species including the hangul, markhor, musk deer and Himalayan black and brown bear, leopard. One of the main features of the park is the Hangul - a Kashmiri Stag which migrates to this region during winters.
There are over 50 species of birds found in the park including Himalayan Snowcock, Himalayan jungle crow, griffon vulture, bearded vulture, golden oriole, paradise flycatcher, white cheeked bulbul, Indian Mynah.
The terrain of the region under the Kishtwar National Park is rugged and rocky and a fine blend of wildlife and amazing mountain ranges.
Thanks to the Himalayas, the Kishtwar National Park is not much affected by monsoons. Beside wildlife and bird watching, one can also go for trekking and various other jungle activities in this park. September to March happens to be the best season for bird watching and March to May for other activities.
