Things to do when you are on Kumaon:-

After all, it gave birth to the legendary ‘Man-eaters of Kumaon’, a story about hunting the man-eater Bengal tiger. If you love wild nature, this is one destination that should get added to your list. Repleted with bears, jackals, elephants, leopards and the Royal Bengal tigers, the place is a goldmine for any wildlife photographer. The uneasy calmness of the place just enhances the wilderness.

The city of Lakes: Of all things, Nainital is considered as the jewel of Kumaon. A beautiful and nostalgic destination for families. It boasts its incredible landscapes and surreal lakes. A boat ride in the placid lake, during the sunset, can be one of the most satisfying experiences you can ever come across. Spend a day or two with your family, and explore the beautiful nature.

Binsar: Binsar is a wildlife sanctuary located in the Kumaon district. Over 200 different types of species live here. The wild forest supports the habitat of the rare and stealth leopards.
