About About the place

Benog Wildlife Sanctuary, often referred to as part of Rajaji National Park, is a forested area located approximately 10 kilometers from Library Chowk in Mussoorie. It's known for its dense vegetation and is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, particularly birdwatchers and trekkers. While sightings of larger animals are infrequent, the sanctuary provides a tranquil environment for exploring the natural beauty of the region. The trek to the sanctuary can be started from Clouds End or Hathi Paon, offering varying levels of difficulty. The area also features abandoned breweries and nearby temples, adding to its appeal.

Best for

The sanctuary is best suited for nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers, trekkers, and those seeking a peaceful escape from the bustling town of Mussoorie. It's ideal for individuals and small groups who enjoy exploring natural environments.

Best season

Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November) offer pleasant weather and are ideal for visiting. Avoid the monsoon season (July-August) due to heavy rainfall and slippery trails.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.
