Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary

The area encompassing Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary has a rich history, dating back to the Chand dynasty, who ruled the Kumaon region from the 11th to the 18th centuries. Binsar was once their summer capital, and the ruins of ancient temples and settlements can still be found within the sanctuary. The British later recognized the area's ecological importance and initiated conservation efforts. The sanctuary was officially established in 1988 to protect the region's diverse flora and fauna. Since its establishment, the sanctuary has become a popular destination for tourists and researchers alike, contributing to the local economy and promoting environmental awareness. Conservation efforts continue to be a priority, ensuring the preservation of this natural treasure for future generations.
