Early morning is the ideal time for wildlife spotting as the park is quiet and animal activity, particularly among birds and monkeys, is at its peak. Sightings of elusive species like leopards are extremely rare but most likely to occur during these quiet, low-light hours.
Binoculars are essential for birdwatchers and those hoping to see the Himalayan wildlife that often stays high in the dense forest canopy or on distant slopes. They are particularly useful for spotting the various pheasant species and the red giant squirrel.
While Rhesus monkeys are common, they can be bold and may approach humans for food, so it is important to keep your distance and never feed them. For larger wildlife like bears or leopards, staying on the marked track and hiking in groups significantly enhances your safety.
While there are no vehicle-based safaris on the hiking track itself, the nearby Lalazar Wildlife Park offers fenced enclosures where you can see native species in a more controlled environment. Local guides can be hired at the trailhead to help identify wildlife and navigate the forest safely.
