Benog Wildlife Sanctuary is a small protected forest on the Benog Hill ridge, about 11 km from Mussoorie's Library Point, and is administered as part of Rajaji National Park.
The sanctuary is prized by birdwatchers as one of the best sites near Mussoorie for Himalayan species such as the cheer pheasant, kalij pheasant and hill myna. Leopards, red foxes, barking deer and langurs also live here.
The forest of oak and deodar offers quiet walks, and the Jwala Devi Temple sits at the top of the hill. Visit from October to April for birdwatching and carry binoculars.
