Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected area in Uttarakhand, India.

The sanctuary spans 45.59 square kilometers across the Jhandi hills, featuring broad leaf oak forests and offering panoramic views of Himalayan peaks.

The area served as the summer capital of the Chand Dynasty, who governed the Kumaon region from the 11th through 18th centuries.

The Bineshwar Mahadev Temple, constructed in the 16th century by Raja Kalyan Chand, stands as a significant religious structure within the sanctuary.

The sanctuary requires an entrance fee of 40 rupees per person and 50 rupees for vehicles, with accommodation available in nearby hotels.

From Zero Point, visitors can observe major Himalayan summits including Kedarnath, Chaukhamba, Shivling, Trisul, Nanda Devi, and Panchachuli peaks.
