Established in 2012, yet home to life that’s timeless
A Young Sanctuary with Ancient Roots
Declared a protected area in 2012, Nandhaur is among Uttarakhand’s youngest yet most biologically vibrant sanctuaries. Encompassing over 260 square kilometers across Nainital and Champawat districts, it forms a vital part of the Terai Arc Landscape, connecting India’s Corbett Tiger Reserve with Nepal’s Shuklaphanta National Park. Its dense sal forests, riverine grasslands, and mixed deciduous woodlands nurture an extraordinary diversity of life. Beyond its ecological significance, Nandhaur stands as a symbol of quiet resilience — a living landscape where forests whisper ancient stories, and every rustle in the leaves reminds us that the wild still endures.
