Lying in its own unassuming way, on top of the Jhandi Dhar hills in the Kumaon region, this bird sanctuary and forest reserve is a haven for nature lovers. Binsar is home to a variety of birds and some wild animals. Acres of oak and rhododendron trees, and a large variety of flowering plants make it nature lover's paradise.

Binsar has a little historical touch to it. It was once the summer capital of the
erstwhile Chand Rajas. The forest reserve was later established by Sir Henry Ramsay during the British rule, and frequented by the Nehru family, who spent many memorable days here.

Discover the abundant trekking trails, enjoy nature walks, train your binoculars on the rare birds, or simply sit back and sink in the tranquility that this place offers.

Surrounded by an abundance of nature, the cool climate and the breathtaking views of the snow capped Himalayan peaks, Binsar is sure to offer its visitors the much-needed respite they seek, from routine.

Make a road trip to this scenic spot and enjoy the many marvels that come your way. The best time to leave the city is at dawn when traffic is at its minimum.
