Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, India

Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary covers 132.37 km2 on the east side of the Uhl River, mostly in Mandi district and under the Kullu Forest Division. Its slopes carry alpine forest of deodar, fir, kharsu oak, prunus, maple and fig, with open ground higher up.

Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary was notified by the Government of Himachal Pradesh on 23 October 1999 with an area of 278.0 km2. On 29 November 2013 a rationalisation of the boundaries reduced it to 132.3731 km2. It falls under the Kullu Forest Division although part of it lies in Mandi district.

The sanctuary lies partly in Mandi district but is managed under the Kullu Forest Division, so forest staff and local residents deal with two district administrations. The name Nargu is used locally for the sanctuary and appears in Tamil as நற்கு. Villagers along the Uhl River approach the forest from the Jogindernagar side.

Access is by road from Jogindernagar, about 30 km away, or Mandi, about 50 km away; the nearest railhead is Jogindernagar and the closest airport is Kangra, roughly 100 km off. The sanctuary lies on the east side of the Uhl River and falls under the Kullu Forest Division, though part of it is in Mandi district. Plan for road travel and on-foot paths rather than marked trails.

The sanctuary is managed under the Kullu Forest Division even though part of it lies in Mandi district. Its slopes carry deodar, fir, kharsu oak, maple and fig, and among the birds are the Himalayan monal, white-crested kalij and chukar.
