Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected area in Shopian district, India.
The Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary extends over 341 square kilometers of varied terrain, from gentle slopes to steep cliffs in the Kashmir region.
The Indian government designated this sanctuary in 1987 to safeguard the natural habitats and local wildlife populations in the Shopian district.
The Gujjars and Bakerwals communities maintain traditional livestock practices within designated areas of the sanctuary, following generations-old patterns.
Visitors can reach the sanctuary by taking a 70-kilometer journey south from Srinagar, with the Mughal Road providing access through the protected zone.
The sanctuary protects 50 specimens of the Pir Panjal markhor, along with 130 bird species and diverse populations of Himalayan bears.
