HASSAN VALLEY ALSO KNOWN AS WILD LIFE SANCTUARY

This Sanctuary and  Catchment Area is situated adjacent to National Highway 22. It starts right after Dhalli and extends beyond Kufri..The altitude ranges from 1,900 m to 2,620 m. The sanctuary is connected by a forest corridor to Chail Sanctuary in the south. This catchment which is the main water supply for Shimla.  The natural vegetation comprises pine, oak, cedar or Himalayan deodar, and rhododendron, as well as maple and horse chestnut. The wildlife consists of jackals, kakkar (barking deer), and the occasional leopard, as well as numerous bird species such as the Himalayan eagle, pheasants, chikor and partridges.There is one rest house inside, and one small room in the middle of the Sanctuary which was built by the Britishers where British officers used to play cards.

 On 13th January,2011  I was accompanied by my three friends and went to explore the Sanctuary, it was a difficult task to cover the distance of 28kms but we managed to do it in 10 hrs. We crossed 14 small bridges to reach our final destination. All together it was an amazing experience for all of us.
