The area also has Musk deer, Goral and Thar. There is a network of bridle paths and inspection paths in the sanctuary.

CHURDHAR SANCTUARY: Churdhar peak, with height of 3647 meters is the highest peak in outer Himalayas. It is like a Oasis of Alpine area in a ocean of temperate forests. This is an excellent area for trekking during summer and early winters. The view from Churdhar peak is un-parallel. One is sure to come across a large number of multicolored and agile Monals in the adjoining forests. Trekking from Sarain and Pulbahal is tough but enjoyable. There is also a Bijjat temple at Sarain and a Shiv Temple at Churdhar
