Nainital
Explore the Jim Corbett–adjacent forests via the Kilbury–Pangot birding circuit, one of Uttarakhand's top birding sites with over 580 species. Day trips to Jim Corbett National Park's Dhangari Zone are possible from Nainital for wildlife encounters.
Pangot is just 15 km from Nainital and is a paradise for birdwatchers — look for Koklass Pheasant and Himalayan Griffon.
