Let's enjoy the Monsoon -Day trip to Bhimashankar (Pune)

Spread across Protected content . km., the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary is situated on the crest of the Western Ghats that is recognized as one of the 12-biodiversity hotspots of the world. Bhimashankar was declared as a wildlife sanctuary in Protected content , primarily because it’s among the very few forests in India which support a thriving population of the endangered and elusive giant squirrel (Ratufa indica elphinstoni).
