==Visiting==
As per the Wildlife Laws in India, permission of Chief Wildlife Warden (CWW) of the State or the concerned Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) under whom the sanctuary falls administratively, is required to enter/stay inside the sanctuary. Daranghati Sanctuary is administered by Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Wildlife who sits at Sarahan.

The best way to explore the Sanctuary is to walk on foot on the various trails that lead off from the heritage Old-Hindustan Tibet Road connecting Rampur Bushahar to Sarahan. The sanctuary keeps to the upper reaches of mountains that run alongside the Old Hindustan Tibet Road. The trails usually lead up these mountains and then go down across to the hidden but beautiful valley of Kashapat.
