Pangot- A birdwatcher’s trove A charming little hill town located in the Nainital district of Uttaranchal Pangot is like a paradise for nature lovers and bird watchers. With around 580 bird species been recorded in this area, you are bound to encounter a few fluttering colourful feathers. Even though it’s counted as one of the offbeat places around Delhi, the resorts here are gorgeous and will make your holiday worthwhile.  Binsar- Towering peaks to roaring predators Zero point in Binsar, Uttarakhand Binsar is breathtakingly surreal! From the vivid view of the Trisul and Nanda Devi to its lush wildlife sanctuary, Binsar has it all to lure your wanderlust.
