Pangot: Where the Himalayan Canopies Sing

Nestled in a peaceful, bowl-shaped mountain valley at an altitude of 1,984 meters (6,510 ft), Pangot is located just 15 kilometers past the Cheena Peak ridge behind Nainital.

Encircled by the lush, protected mixed broadleaf forests of the Kilbury and Sigri Wildlife Sanctuary, Pangot is celebrated internationally as one of Asia's finest birdwatching destinations. The sanctuary's dense moss-draped Himalayan oak, pine, and scarlet rhododendron trees create a thriving biodiversity hotspot hosting over 580 species of resident and migratory birds.
