Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, located within a distance of 30 kms from Almora city of Uttarakhand, is a paradise for nature lovers and explorers.
Established in 1988 primarily to protect the broad-leafed oak trees of the Himalayas, it has now become a haven for more than 200 species of birds and almost half the plants and animals.
Yet, when you visit Binsar, you still have the feeling of stepping into the real wilderness where nature has the last word. You don't get a car or a jeep to get around in the woods - it has to be done on foot. It is an excellent opportunity for adventurers to become one with nature and take in its beauty and mystic appeal. There are also some trekking trails, which have been set up over the years for tourism purposes - some are easy to walk, others a little harder. However, all these guarantee a lot of fun and adventure, which is a given.
Another great attraction of the forest is the majestic panoramic view of the Himalayas, which extends over 300 kms to our neighboring country of Nepal, which is a great attraction of Binsar Sanctuary, more than wildlife or anything else.
