Overview

ChatGPT said:

Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, also known as Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary, is the largest protected area in the Western Himalayas, located in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli and Rudraprayag districts. Spanning about 975 sq km, it ranges from lush forests to alpine meadows and is famous for being a vital habitat of the endangered Himalayan musk deer.

Home to diverse wildlife such as snow leopards, Himalayan black bears, monals, and over 200 bird species, the sanctuary also surrounds the sacred Kedarnath Temple. It’s a haven for both nature lovers and pilgrims, offering beautiful trekking routes like Chopta-Tungnath-Chandrashila. The best time to visit is May to November, when the sanctuary is open and teeming with natural beauty.
