The sanctuary has a park, sunset view point, dense forest feel , muddy adventurous looking curvy roads and absolutely stunning tall and stout pine deodar trees… This place is surely a heaven for birds and first time during my Dalhousie visit I could feel utter...More

Beautiful place but spoilt by poor management by the forest department

Although the place is situated deep in the forest and on top of a hill away from dense population but still it has more than enough number of tourist in the day time to spoil the serene charm of the place. The people deployed by...More

No Wildlife

Don't know why it is called wildlife sanctury..Rs 250 For the entry with the worst roads you can think just go at the top and have tea Maggi with a average view.

Austrian Black Forest of India

Just drive past. Ugly tattered tents and wash lines of gypsies fill the beautiful black slopes of tall pines rolling down into the stream.

Dense forest

Somewhere between Dalhousie & Khajjiar is the Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary. The name is a little misleading as I doubt you can actually see proper wildlife here, given that private vehicles have unrestrained entry into the sanctuary. Our guide told us that 'Punjabi men come here...More

Trek if you wish to enjoy the forest

There aren’t any “wild life”. If you dive into the forest, it’s just a drive and you’ll have no fun. If your physical ability allow, walk/trek from the entrance to the forest resort and enjoy the forest. You can have many good photo options on...More

The area around Kalatop was very deserted. There was a guest house there but that looked empty too. NIghts would be quite scary in that area. Dalhousie was very close and the hotels there are excellent. The drive from... More
