Churdhar peak, with height of 3,647m, is the highest peak in outer
Himalayas. It is like an Oasis of Alpine area in an ocean of temperate
forests. The view from Churdhar peak is un-paralled. The sanctuary got its
name from the Chur Peak, on the top of which sits a majestic status of
Lord Shiva. One is sure to come across a large number of multi-coloured
and agile Monals in the adjoining forests.The total covered area of this
sanctuary is 5616 hectares and this is notified on 15th November 1985.
This is one of the newest sanctuaries of the State. Now at the point of
local extinction, Churdhar still contains good habitat for Monals and
other pheasants. Other fauna includes Himalayan Black Bear, Barking Deer,
Musk Deer, Common Langur and Leopards but Musk Deer has been severely
depleted by hunting.
