Enjoy both wildlife and scenic splendour

As you wander through the sanctuary, you will spot graceful musk deer grazing peacefully, hear the calls of Himalayan birds, or maybe catch a glimpse of a snow leopard. The sanctuary’s unique geography, ranging from dense forests to alpine meadows, is also home to Himalayan black bears, snow cocks, tahra, bharals (blue sheep), chirs, koklas, pheasants, monals, and chukors. It’s not just the wildlife that captivates you; the views of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys dotted with temples leave you spellbound. A trip to Askot isn’t complete without discovering its many trails and waterfalls.
