Binsar trek
The **Binsar Wildlife & Nature Weekend** is a serene escape nestled in the heart of the Kumaon Himalayas, perfect for nature lovers and peace seekers. Located at an altitude of about 2,400 meters, Binsar offers panoramic views of the majestic Himalayan peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Kedarnath. The area is a protected wildlife sanctuary home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, including deer, leopards, birds, and rare orchids.
During this weekend getaway, you’ll stay in cozy forest lodges or quaint cottages surrounded by dense oak, rhododendron, and pine forests. Days are spent on guided nature walks and birdwatching expeditions inside the sanctuary, exploring peaceful trails and spotting wildlife in their natural habitat. The highlight is watching the stunning sunset from Zero Point, where the sky lights up with breathtaking hues over the snow-capped mountains.
Apart from wildlife and nature, Binsar village itself reflects Kumaoni culture and offers a chance to interact with locals and savor authentic regional cuisine. This weekend trip is ideal for travelers seeking tranquility, fresh mountain air, and a break from city life—all within a short, rejuvenating journey in Uttarakhand.
