Dear Prashant ji, First of all congrats for visiting GHNP after its inscription as World Heritage Site. Pity that I have not been able to do so, even as I extensively trekked through the Park during the process of its inscription. Yes, the image is definitely Saussurea graminifolia, a striking plant visible to only those with keen eyes. I have also recorded good widely scattered patches of this plant during my recent trek to Bharara Sar (4270 m), a lake on Rupin ridge defining the boundary of Himachal (Dodra Kwar) and Uttarakhand (Gobind Pashu Vihar). Regards,
