CHILA
Attractions: Elephants, Spotted Deer
Excursions: Rishikesh, Haridwar
THE WILD IN THE HILLS
Chila Wildlife Sanctuary, a haven for animal watchers is just 8 kms. from
Haridwar and 21 kms. from
Rishikesh. Located on the banks of
the Ganga River, in the heart of Shivalik hills, Chila is a part of the
famous Rajaji
National Park.
The town itself is neither attractive nor interesting, but makes a good
base for explorations of the park.
The Wild Population
The
fauna species include elephants, spotted deer, stag deer, blue bull, wild
boar, fox, porcupine, jungle fowls and peacock. Besides these, migratory
birds are also seen on the river Ganga. Wild animal/bird watching and
photography on elephant back is a prime attraction. Pleasure walks in the
jungle provide the much-needed respite from the maddening noise of the
city life.
