The highest point in the surrounding region[citation needed], Kufri has a Himalyan Wild Life Zoo which hosts rare Antelopes, Birds and rare feline species. Monal, the state bird of Himachal Pradesh, is also kept here. During winter a meandering path trough the potato plantations turns into a popular Ski track.
