Nangal Wildlife Sanctuary

The sanctuary spans diverse ecosystems including wetlands, forests, and grasslands that support populations of native and migratory species throughout the year.

Established as a protected area following the construction of the Bhakra Dam in the 1960s, the sanctuary became critical for preserving local wildlife populations.

Local communities participate in conservation programs by sharing traditional ecological knowledge and maintaining sustainable practices within the sanctuary boundaries.

Visitors require entry permits from the Forest Department and should plan their visits between October and March for optimal wildlife observation conditions.

The sanctuary contains multiple observation points overlooking the Sutlej River, allowing visitors to spot both aquatic and terrestrial wildlife simultaneously.
