The renowned Khaptad Baba Ashram, a religious site where Hindu pilgrims come to worship Shiva on the full moon of July–August each year, is located near the park headquarters. This park is visited by a few numbers of peoples. The landscape consists of moorland, steep slopes, and streams. 567 species of flora have been recorded in the protected area.
