For refreshment this is one of the few place in India... Nature and Himalaya...and the thrill of animals... awesome place... We should not expect every facilities in the lap of nature.. Go if you want to get a life long memory of Himalayan forest ..

Awesome place. Once in a lifetime feeling. Calm, serene and out of the world.

Absolutely Marvelous.. You should not expect to watch wild beasts here. But you can enjoy the enchanting birds of different varieties and the calmness of dense forest. At the zero point your eyes will be soothed by watching the beauty of Himalaya.

Oh my god! Its really very quiet and peaceful wildlife sanctuary and scenery here to see for click in your eyes as well as your camera.

Isolated place, view is amazing, very peaceful..you can only hear birds, try to go in off season...

Good place for nature lover. There are many small trails in the sanctuary where one can explore the nature. Many types of Birds and animals can be seen. But take help of a guide for exploring. One can visit the forest rest house and small walk to zero point to get a great view of Himalayan range. For best experience stay in TRH binsar.

Trekking is moderate. But the view of zero point is not good. It has many obstacles blocking the view. One will get much better view on the way.

One of the most peaceful and beautiful 2kms treek trail till zero point. Would love to go back again

Its a ordinarily maintained typical sarkari set-up. A bit of disappointment after you travel so much to reach this place. It does not have much to engage or educate visitors. You take trail and walk through to a unimaginatively constructed machan from where you hope to get a great view of snow clad mountain range but only if you are lucky. Most of the time there are clouds and you just wonder what the whole trip was all about. It has great potential but if only the government babus wake up from the slumber and see the place and decide how it can be made tourist friendly. The views on the way are better than the destination.

If you wish to see this view from the balcony everytime you wake up in the morning, then stay at KMVM rest house in the sanctuary. From the rest house its a small trail ranging between 1.5-2 kms to reach the tower from where you can get this view.

Wonderful experience in trekking till zero point. Spectacular views of Himalayan range.

Best time to visit is late Feb and March... Nice trek to the zero point from where you can view the Himalayan ranges..if you are lucky you would be able to see the animals crossing your path

Very good place to stay

Very romantic place....

Surreal, Peacefull, far from the life of city

Nice bird sanctuaty

Good place for one day trip

Dense jungle & not many ppl around.. but the road is very narrow & absolute nightmare to drive as its filled with potholes & completely broken

Picturesque location, Lovely for nature-lovers and people who like to hike. Beginner level trekkers can come to this place to spend some quality time with their loved ones and nature of course! During the trek, if you are lucky enough (and you are quiet enough to not let the animals & the birds sense your presence) you can spot Barking deer, various birds like Blue Himalayan Magpie, Redstart, Grey headed Flycatcher, laughing thrush and many others.KMVN is a great option with delicious food. Theres little or no electricity so make sure your devices are charged. They provide you candles in the evening and give you hot water in the morning. Starry night is perfect for star gazers and obviously the snow capped peak view is breathtaking!

Far away from the madding crowd. Serene, quiet, unspoilt nature.

KMVN TRH is awesome place to stay, with Great View....

The black forest of India.

Although not much animals in the forest..but trekking to zero point and view of Himalayan range is out of this world

Nice forest trek for nature lovers

Stayed at Grand Oak. Lovely place to stay and staff is very humble. Lovely scenic view and huge space to talk a walk. Loved the place and would like to visit again.

Picturesque place & poets paradise. Good place for bird watching. Try home stays of host community. It is destination for nature lovers. Himalayas on the backdrop adds charm to the sanctuary.

This KMVN will give you the experience of your lifetime. After 9, only candle light and you are in the middle of jungle on a mountain. Best ambiance for ghost stories. :DInfrastructure is superb. Food is good(More that I expected in the middle of nowhere). Good view from rooftop.

Very nice place which gives a distant view of grand Himalaya. Lucky people get to see some exotics birds(May be). We enjoyed view and trekking (sort of) only. Infrastructure is poorly managed.

Are you in tight schedule? Dont go to Binsar. It is not for you. Can you spare a day ? You are welcome to Binsar. just stay a day or two. dedicate yourself with the nature . you will love Binsar. Its a different world.

Could have easily been a 5 had there been better facilities for visitors. This is otherwise a very quiet place to de-stress and disconnect from the world

Lovely.

Excellent hilltop close to Almora. Mind-blowing views of Himalayan range and forest trail for trekking. It also has a resort for retreat. Highly recommended place.

Binsar Wild life sanctuary is a complete waste of time and money. They charge Rs.150 for adults Rs.75 for kids and Rs.250 for Small Cars and Rs.500 for big cars. Not well maintained narrow roads leads you to the walking road where you need to trek for around 2 kms . You don’t get to see any animal. Just a nature walk. If you are in mountains any walk can be nature walk. So please don’t waste any money here.

This place is best example of peace of mind .Very nature and clean at here.There are many trek routes for jungle walks and trekking depending on the interest ,bird watching with expert guides,village walks to see topical village life and traditional folk music and dance programs .

Very nice place. There is entry fee for the sanctuary and it is closed by 4pm. Most awesome place to stay here is the KMVN Tourist rest house almost 10 km inside the sanctuary but the road is thrilling and there will be electricity available from 5pm to 8pm only. Treaking to zero point will be an awesome experience.

It is a marvelous place for people who wants to connect with nature and to explore the trails. The place is far from the hustle and bustle and one can enjoy the senerity by watching the mountain peaks and different kinds of trees while taking a stroll.

Nice place but dont expect any animals, must go to zero points, if you are interested in trekking...Its nice place

Peace. Jungles. Heights. Chills. Wildlife. All you wildlife enthusiasts out there, head to Almora for an incredible trip of your lifetime.

Located in the heart of the jungled and hills, this resort is a bird lovers and a trekkers paradise. Warm hospitality, aesthetically decorated rooms and awesome food makes the stay worth every penny

Calm and Serene place .. only for nature lovers and if you love to drive on narrow mountain roads.

Not Doing good

A wonderful hill spot and sanctuary. Love it.

Nature everywhere! Try the zero point trek... Good for bird watching but time of the day is important!

The 2 km nature trail was so relaxing and breathing...

Quietness of the jungle speaks of the magestic oak trees. The view of Himalaya is simply amazing. To see the morning glow on the face of Nanda Devi is bliss!

Marvellous forest on top of Hill... Fabulous view of mountain.... Wildlife can be experienced....

The driver we got was very friendly and experienced which lead us to see many animals :)Totally worth timeIf you are natures lover

Amazing place... U wont regret going there..with family and friends.. amazing view from jhandi chua

We are trekking in this place for go to zero point.But you go to zero point by car .But treeking road are most enjoyable. Himalayan saw beautiful from zero point . When you start trekking then mostly take a bottle of water cause upper of the trekking road there no have any water & food centre.Inside have only one resort but this is only for pre-booked. Return time near cafe have shiva temple &See this .

Its a awesome place for the nature lovers and people who love serene quiet place surrounded by nature. The Anandamoyee maa ashram there is really great place to stay.

Simply fantastic place for solo travellers. Foreigners like flocking here in the month of Oct uptill early january.

Adventure tous, one must stay in sanctuary hotels for 100% enjoyment

Very beautiful place having rich wildlife including tigers, elephants and bear

Misleading marking. If it is a travel agency, why is it not marked as such. Instead it has been marked as Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary.Mark it by its name Hamara Holiday P Ltd.

A quaint place away from the city hustle...

Good place to see but roads are not good for zero point so be careful while driving

Peace clam ... bird watching ...KMVN not worth to stay ....

Very beautiful dense forest Birds singing 🎶 make Symphony

Beautiful view, drive, must visit...although the final few kms drive is through very narrow roads which in itself is an adventure

Good views after a 2 Im walk

Very natural and greenary less travelled place,With fresh crispy and cool air

Great place for a view of the nandadevi range and a weekend of solitude.

Beautiful forest, great for birding and long walks (with a guide).

Horrible place. No wildlife. Waste of time money and efforts. The roads are especially as good as not there.

No need to go there. Nothing like sanctuary.

An amazing place to visit. If you want to immerse yourself in nature and breathe the fresh air. Do not expect to see many animals. It has a place known as zero point which has some breathtaking views. It is a 2km trek from KMVN binsar. The trek isnt that hard at all but yes it did take our breath away for a moment.To enter this sanctuary, youll have to shell out Rs. 150 per person and 250 for car parking.Its very relaxing and calm. The best time to visit would be March and April. I visited in June 2017 as we had not preferred visiting once the monsoon arrived as itll be raining and cloudy. Even then, we werent able to see the spectacular views from zero point as it was cloudy. If your visit to Binsar is for the spectacular views from Zero Point (like ours) then make sure you plan according to the weather. As for the stay, KMVN is a great option and so are other resorts situated in the core area. Do remember its a wildlife Sanctuary and the lights go off after sun down. All in all its a great way to connect to nature.

Lovely place

Very peaceful and beautiful place to spend time

Great trek uphill to zero point in quiet woods,serene environment

I think U hv visted here one time. Awesome place

Wonderful ...See the sky at night too ... its beautiful ...

Must go with family for a peaceful experience,view is spectacular

Awesome place specially zero point

Very nice place for hiking and viewing Nandadevi and other Himalayan mountain. To view wildlife is dependent on luck. Road in the sanctuary badly need repair work.

Any one who want peace and some of adventure......that place is ok

Wow nice place... India has green wealth... Please protect it

Quiet place. Nice views of Himalayas

Amazing views, great walks. This is probably one of the few wildlife sanctuaries in India where you are permitted to walk/hike through.

A beautiful place,calm and quiet.if u go there then stay at TRC guest house as it is close to jungle.

If you want to understand nature. Go ahead and get the best experience

Great place for wild life who want spend time with nature and himalya view are attracted also , can say this place little bit level of himalya

If you are a bird lover, visit this place, you wont regret :) You will have to hike though, dont expect wildlife to be seen from your vehicle, you may find if you are lucky.

Awesome journey through reaching the top was not so fun

Very wonderful palace specially he loves natur

Excellent, cant describe in words, just book go and enjoy.

This place is a perfect blend of peace and nature...Sunrise, moonrise,sunset...you can get every beauty of nature.You get around view of almost 40 percent of Himalaya peaks.I loved this place.You can visit with your family and stay in KMVN resort and if you are going with your friends you can even go for treking downhills to 2 villages KATADHARA ANN GUNAB.People there are very simple and honest. One can even plan to stay one night in village at very low cost.

Go if ur really into wildlife. Though I didnt saw anything

Good for trecking..also the view.

Never in life time plan a visit to this place. Never. Road from Entry Gate to say Zero Point, as they call it the Highest Point inside is all in pieces, broken all the way. They charge INR 150 for every visitors and INR 250 for Car. There is a picture gallery on entry point but there was no light. There was no attendant. You would not see even a monkey which are available in plenty elsewhere during the tour.My comments are not personalized

This place is one of its kind. It is in the forest and takes you back to bare basic days of mankind.No electricity except for generator backup during dinner time. Vodafone network coverage present. The 10km road from the checkpost to TRH Binsar is adventurous. Food is good. Great sunrise view. It is a bit expensive considering the size of the rooms and facilities offered.

Good. Have to walk for 2km inside the sanctuary

Nice place .. have a nice trek or walk of around 2 kms to see the amazing view of the great grand himalaya.. no wildlife but just saw langur and a woodpecker ... view is superb..

Nice view of Himalayan mountain range

Amongst thick forests of Oak and Rhodendron (Buransh), the Binsar Sanctuary situated on top of the Jhandi Dhar hills. The sanctuary is spread over 45.59 sq. km. at an altitude varying from 900 to 2500 metres with an average height of 2412 metres. It is only 30 kilometres away from Almora city. From a place called Zero Point in Binsar one can see the Himalayan peaks like Kedarnath Peak, Shivling, Trisul and Nanda Devi. The entire region is now a wildlife sanctuary and has a host of wildlife like Panther and Barking Deer. The beautiful temple of Binsar Mahadev lies nearby. An another temple of Kasar Devi is located around 9 km from Binsar. Binsar was the summer capital of the Chand Kings, who ruled over Kumaon from the 11th to 18th centuries AD. Binsar was established in 1988 for the conservation and protection of the shrinking broad leaf oak forests of the Central Himalayan region, and it has over 200 bird species.

Just awesome. The forest walk is very enjoyable. View of Nanda Devi, Trishul, Nandakot, Panchachuli etc are just awesome during sunset & sunrise.Electricity has not yet reached here. In KMVN they run generator for 4 hours in the evening till 8:45 pm. Food is excellent in KMVN.

Long winding roads, near and clean golu devta temple, a beautiful binsar forest resort on top of the mountain with approx 10 cottages

KMVN TRH in Binsar is superb with a 360 degree view of the Kumaon Himalaya!Spent a family holiday there for 2 nights during full moon with our kid of 5.5 yrs.Special attraction is unavailability of electricity except 6 - 9 pm IST !!! Rest of the day there is NO electricity. It may sound weird for a common urban person, but once there one would love it just being with nature.6:30 AM: Bed tea is provided at room7 - 8 AM: Hot water is supplied in buckets to each room8 - 9:30 AM: Complementary breakfast served as buffet in common dinning area1:30 - 2:30 PM: Lunch buffet (pay as you go) in common dinning area5 - 6:30 PM: Evening snacks (pay as you go) in common dinning area7:30 - 9 PM: Complementary Dinner buffet in common dinning areaDiesel generator is switched on at 6 PM IST and switch off at 9 PM IST.

This place gives an ultimate view of the Great Himalayas.But No Fauna could be seen. They take 150 INR for 1 person and 250 INR for a car.
