Gandhi Chowk. A short but steep ascent leads to the Kalatope wildlife sanctuary,
from which one can walk into a pleasant track.This sanctuary area with its well-laid out trekking jungle trails both at
Kalatop and Khajjiar is a tourist paradise. Dense Deodar and Fir forests are
places of solitude very close to Dalhousie town.
Fauna :
The sanctuary is rewarding for the view but its Ibex, deer, bears and leopards
rarely come out of their hiding. Visitors should look for pheasants and Serow in
these forests but should be beware of Black bear, which can be encountered often
in the area.
