Bear sighting near Rudrapur village in Guptkashi raises concern over waste and visitor safety
A bear has reportedly been seen near Rudrapur village along the Jakhadhar motor road in Guptkashi, Rudraprayag district. The sighting has worried residents, hotel and homestay operators because the area serves Kedarnath helicopter services and receives regular tourist movement. Villagers say exposed waste may be drawing bears closer to populated areas.
