About Churdhar Wildlife
Sanctuary
Named after the 3647 m high Churdhar peak, this wildlife sanctuary is
a trekkers' paradise in the outer Himalayas. The spectacular Monal,
Himachal's state bird, can be easily sighted in the forested slopes of
Churadhar along with the Koklass and the Kaleej pheasants. The
endangered Himalayan Black Bear and the canine toothed Musk Deer
inhabit the higher reaches of the sanctuary.
There is Shiva temple and a sarai at Churadhar and Forest Rest Houses
at Nehra, Choras and Sarain. Summer or early winter is the best time
to visit |
