Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary

As one of the oldest wildlife sanctuaries in India, Senchal provides a protected environment for high-altitude flora and fauna. It is home to barking deer, Himalayan black bears, and leopards. The sanctuary is also a vital catchment area for Darjeeling's water supply. Its proximity to Tiger Hill makes it accessible for tourists who want to combine a sunrise view with a nature walk through oak and pine forests.
