nepli reserve forest

I went for the trek from nepli to kansal forest which is organised every year by the forest Dept. Chandigarh Administration, and trust me it was a memorable moment worth visiting place. Kudos to Chandigarh Admin for sucha crisp and steady arrangement for the trek providing refreshments at every km of the trek which was a full 8-10 km trek, and after that a warm hospitality provided by the brunch by The Chandigarh Beckons Hotel. Regarded as the hot spot for picnic also.

Its always good to see a place like this.This one is a part of sukhna wildlife sanctuary.Spent whole day in this reserve forest and enjoyed our day.Entry with permit only.

Probabaly, this one is the beat forest i had ever visited. Usually, nowadays, there is a lot of dirt amongst these places, but, this one is the best. It is a part of Sukhna Wildife Sanctuary. Huge varieties of bird an animals like deer, monkey, jackals etc. Entry by permit only.
