Majthal Sanctuary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Majthal Sanctuary is situated in Solan District and has steep and rugged terrain. The sanctuary is about 10 km on the kacha road Kararaghat (Shimla-Bilaspur Highway) to Kashlog. The sanctuary is said to have a large population of endangered cheer pheasant, and there is also a large goral population. Recently, a globally threatened bird called the grey-crowned prinia was discovered by Virender Kumar Bhardwaj and Rakeshwar Kapoor. The Himachal Tourism agency recommends winter as a good time to visit the sanctuary.[1][2]
