“Wildlife Sanctuary inside Mountains... A Great combination. Situated in North Bengal. Most people went there during there visit to Chatakpur Eco Village. This place is a paradise for Bird Watchers. After entering this Sanctuary, you can hear the continuous sounds of chirping from different types of birds. Though Cheetah or some other animals are present here...”

Arup Naskar

“Don't know about the wildlife sanctuary and its wild animals but this sanctuary has the beautiful hamlet of Chatakpur. It can be reached only through reserved/private vehicles and road condition from Sonada to Chatakpur through Senchal forest is very bad, but offers a picturesque view. PS- This place is closed to visitors from 15th June to 15th September.”

Kuheli Ghosh

“Lovely place. It's suggested to visit the sanctuary with an experienced guide only. You can find many wild animals anytime. Please don't drink or smoke inside the sanctuary. Recommended 👍🏻”

Rupak Sarkar

“The pine forest is a nice place to visit. We have seen the footsteps of leopard. Wild boars are also there. Bears, deers are there too. No one is allowed to enter the forest without guide.”
