Corbett National Park situated in the foothills of the Himalayas is a major birding location. Created in 1936 as the first National Park of India, Corbett has a bird tally of more than 500 species. The area attracts large number of sub-Himalayan species in the winters in addition to an equally large number of long-distance migrants. The hill station of Nainital situated close to Corbett National park, but on a higher elevation, is an ideal spot for a birder looking for the Himalayan and sub-Himalayan species which come down to moderate elevations in the winters. More than 200 species have been reported from the area. Keoladeo National Park is a wonder of the natural world as over 350 species of birds can be seen in this 29 sq km park, with a third of them being migrants. It is a staging / wintering ground for a huge number of migratory waterfowl that breed in the Paleartic region. Ranthambhore National Park besides being one of the most beautiful tiger habitats in the world is also a remarkable merger of nature and history. Overrun by vegetation, the scattered remnants of graves, step wells, summer palaces and crumbling guard posts can still be seen. The bird tally of the park till date has been 330.
