Birds of Pangot & Kilbury
Pangot & Kilbury, Nainital · Kumaon, Uttarakhand · ≈ 115 km from Kunja
All birdwatchingPangot and the Kilbury sanctuary, on the forest ridge above Nainital, are the stuff of birding legend — close to 600 species in dense oak and rhododendron. Koklass and Kalij pheasants haunt the slopes, laughingthrushes and woodpeckers the canopy, and the Lammergeier rides the thermals overhead.
