beautiful tiger reserve spread over 1,134 km, the park is in the
Himalayan foothills of Pauri Garhwal and Nainital districts, Uttar
Pradesh. This tourist destination is India's first national park.
The area is magnificent and birdlife rich. This is the best place in the

hog deer
in the grasslands. Visitors have a good chance to seeing the tiger, that
