Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary

Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary is a forest reserve featuring dense woodlands and alpine meadows spread across the terrain. The landscape changes from steep forested slopes to open grasslands at higher elevations with varied vegetation.

This sanctuary was established in the late 1990s to protect the alpine forests and their wildlife. Its boundaries have been adjusted over time to better serve conservation goals.

The villages surrounding this sanctuary practice traditional ways of living that have shaped the landscape for generations. Visitors can observe how these communities remain closely connected to the forest and its wildlife.

The terrain is best explored on foot, so sturdy hiking boots and layered clothing are essential for changing mountain weather. Visitors should prepare for varying elevations and allow plenty of time for exploration.

The sanctuary offers lodging at strategic locations where visitors can observe Himalayan black bears and mountain wildlife in their natural habitat. These viewing points enable extended nature experiences over multiple days.
