Trekking in Govind Wildlife Sanctuary not allowed till August 31

Govind Wildlife Sanctuary and National Park area will not allow any trekking expedition in its area till August 31. This move comes after some unfortunate accident, resulting in the death of two trekkers, took place in the area.
RP Mishra, Deputy Director of the Sanctuary, said that the park administration took the decision after considering all the matters related to the incident. The decision of banning trekking till August 31 has been taken to ensure safety of trekkers and tourists as, during this period, weather turns very unpredictable in high altitude.

The director further informed that permission for trekking to Rupin, Borasu, and Wali passes, besides Devkyara and Ruinasar will not be granted till August 31. It is to be noted that Govind Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the most-visited national parks in India. The alluring landscape and the possibility of sighting some endangered species lures both domestic and international tourists to plan a visit here. True to its spirit, Govind National Park is doing exactly what it was built for. It was established to save endangered species and is referred to as a paradise in North India for spotting rare species.
It is located in Govind Pashu Vihar, a remote area in Uttarkashi district. River Ton works as a saviour for this wildlife sanctuary. The river enriches the entire region with its sediment, which in turn helps the vegetation in the national park to grow uninhibited.
Travellers need to be cautious while making plans to visit the sanctuary for now. Especially if you are in a mood to pack your bags and go trekking here, for you will have to wait a bit.
