Wild life and wild life sanctuaries are the other attractions for tourists visiting Uttarakhand. Come and see a fascinating diversity of wildlife. Unique, mysterious and forever fascinating, Uttarakhand spans a diverse variety of geographical terrain that is a veritable treasure house of animals and birds.
Right from the lofty mountains perennially under a thick blanket of snow, to the river valleys, from the undulating highlands to the thickly forested Terai, one finds a rich variety of species of flora and fauna. Wildlife abounds all over the state, but in order to protect its many species and to enable visitors to view them in their natural habitat, there are specially designated areas, national parks and sanctuaries.
There are other sanctuaries also which are of wildlife importance. They are Kedarnath Sanctuary, Malan Sanctuary, Motichoor Sanctuary, and Nandadevi Sanctuary.
