Reviews Of Maenam Wildlife Sanctuary

Namchi, Sikkim, India
The Maenam Wildlife Sanctuary, established in 1969, covers an area of approximately 36.34 sq. km and ranges in altitude from 2,300 meters to 3,263 meters (about 10,600 ft), making it a mid-to-high altitude temperate forest ecosystem. Its name, "Maenam-la," literally translates to "treasure-house of medicines" in local language, owing to its rich assortment of medicinal plants and herbs. The sanctuary is a critical watershed area for both the Teesta and Rangit rivers and is home to high-altitude Himalayan fauna, including the endangered Red Panda, Goral, Serow, Barking Deer, Leopard-Cat, and numerous bird species like the Blood Pheasant and Common Hill Partridge. The sanctuary is most famous as the starting point for the challenging trek to the Maenam Peak and the historical Maenam Gompa (Monastery) at the summit.
