The dense forest around Oak Chalet is home to the elusive Himalayan leopard. It also houses macaques, langur monkeys, the sambur and karker deer, wild boar, porcupines, pine martens, and various mountain birds including chakors, magpies, mynas, jungle fowl, babblers and whistling thrush. For the wildlife safari experience, and a chance to see the Bengal tiger, our team can organise excursions to the Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve, which is only a few hours away from Oak Chalet.
