The biodiversity in Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary is truly remarkable. I had the privilege of spotting several rare and exotic species, including the elusive leopard and Himalayan black bear. The sanctuary's well-maintained trails and observation points allowed me to observe these incredible creatures from a safe distance while still feeling connected to nature.
The sanctuary also offers a multitude of hiking trails that cater to varying levels of fitness and interest. The mesmerizing views from Zero Point and the Binsar Peak are absolutely worth the trek. As I stood at these vantage points, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush green valleys, I felt a sense of peace and awe that will stay with me forever.

Beautiful place but don’t expect wildlife, tracking is very nominal and drive to the main gate is very narrow

Good place if you are a nature lover chances of spotting an animal or bird is negligible. The drive to zero point and the 2km walk to zero point for a view of the great himalayas is breathtaking.

A good place for those who like hiking and want to see nice view. There 13 Tigers in this sanctuary but the possibility of spotting the tiger is 5% only. Best place for the people who like to do bird photography. Must visit in sunny weather only…… Do carry a jacket as it’s extremely cold in winter and when it’s raining.

This beautiful Binsar sanctuary located in Almora district This beautiful place is quite enchanting which cannot be expressed in words.
There are beautiful animals and birds here which tourists from all over the country and abroad come to see.
We also went here for the first time on 23 October 2023...It is 10 kilometers by road and 2 kilometers on foot from zero point
Beautiful sunset and sunrise view is visible from here.
It is a wonderful place, after reaching here we felt as if we had reached heaven....✨❤️

It depends on the weather and time of the day whether you spot any wildlife/birds in the hiking trail, as well as whether you get to view the snow capped ranges from the view point. Unfortunately it was cloudy when we visited so the view point was a bit disappointing.
As for the hiking trail, it's quite serene and beautiful to walk through the forests, and we saw a few birds along the way too, though quite far away. It's around 2km of walking (one way) and 4km overall, with rest stops along the way if you need to sit.

Good trek of 2 kms, at 2 or 3 places, it is bit rough, rest is fine. In summers, you won't find many animals. View from zero point is a must watch. Drive from almora to inside binsar of about 10 kms is very difficult as it is a very narrow road and if any vehicle is coming from the other side then its not easy for both to pass together.
