Nandhaur Wildlife Sanctuary
Details : Nandhaur Wildlife Sanctuary is a sprawling protected area covering over 270 square kilometers, established in 2012. It is a vital ecological link in the Terai Arc Landscape, connecting the Sharda and Gola rivers. This sanctuary is much less commercialized than Corbett National Park, offer ing a raw and authentic jungle experience. It is home to a significant population of tigers, leopards, wild elephants, and sloth bears. The sanctuary is primarily composed of dense Sal forests and riverine ecosystems that provide a perfect habitat for over 250 species of birds. The perennial Nandhaur River flows through the heart of the forest, creating scenic spots for wildlife sightings. Historically, the area was a favorite hunting ground for colonial officers, but today it stands as a fortress of conservation. The sanctuary offers a sense of solitude that is hard to find in other tiger reserves. It is a place where the silence of the forest is only broken by the calls of the Great Pied Hornbill or the rustle of a leopard in the undergrowth. For those looking for an offbeat wildlife adventure, this is the ultimate destination near Haldwani.
