Overview

Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary

Binsar is located in the Kumaon Himalayan region of the state of Uttarakhand, about 33 km north of Almora city, above the Jhandi Dhar hills in the Himalayas. Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary is an Indian wildlife sanctuary offering amazing views from the zero point location. 

The Himalayan peaks such as Mt. Kedarnath peak, Mt. Shivling, Mt. Trishul, and Mt. Nandadevi are visible. Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary is home to more than 200 bird species, the area is a museum about flora and fauna.

Binsar is a protected wildlife area comprising oak, rhododendron, and pine forests on a mountain rising up to 8000 ft. Binsar is also one of the many names given to Lord Shiva. 

The famous Vineshwar / Binsar Mahadev Temple is situated in the center of a mysterious cross, with the important Shiva and Devi temples exactly 14 kilometers in four cardinal directions. And the local deity, Dana Golu, is also said to have resided in these forests. 

The lower part of this sanctuary is inhabited by villages, where the cedar forest is relatively warm, and the upper part of the sanctuary is dense oak forest and cold terrain. These factors create diverse environments and support different bird species.

Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary offers hiking and trek options of over 60 km. The trails pass through dense forest, and seeing the spectacular views is the best way to experience the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary.
