About Kanchula Korak Musk Deer Sanctuary

Kanchula Korak Musk Deer Sanctuary, located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, is a hidden gem that travelers shouldn’t miss. This sanctuary spreads across 800 square kilometers of Himalayan wilderness and is one of India’s most important conservation areas for the endangered Himalayan musk deer.


There are many Uttarakhand Tour Packages that allow to you explore this sanctuary, making it easier for tourists to spot not just musk deer but also other mountain wildlife. The sanctuary is untouched, and this is what makes it special – dense forests of oak and rhododendron trees cover the slopes. The sanctuary is also home to leopards, black bears, and countless bird species that call these forests their home.

We trekked, rafted, and relaxed in Uttarakhand—all planned by Viacation. Their attention to safety and comfort for our family was much appreciated.

The yoga retreat in Rishikesh was life-changing. Viacation’s team answered all our questions about ashram bookings and were a phone call away.
