Neora Valley Birding Tour
About
In our constant quest to explore the less visited and offbeat forests Neora Valley National Park was a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. This 88 sq.km. national park is one of the most diverse habitats that we have explored. Within this small area the lowest attitude is just 600ft. and highest altitude is 10500ft. This is the main reason for the rich biodiversity found in this area. This national park has been declared as biodiversity hotspot by UN. NVNP is home to 265 bird species and over and home to critically endangered Red Panda and Black Asiatic Bear.
