Nandhaur Sanctuary encompasses a significant part of Haldwani Forest Division the Nandhaur, Jaulasal, Danda, Sharda forest ranges and sanctuary buffer. It came into existence on 14 December 2012. The river Nandhaur, Kaloriya and Kaloniya split the Nandhaur Sanctuary in to three parts the lifeline of the Nandhaur Sanctuary. The spectacular landscape represents a very unique siwalikbhabhar region having riverine ecosystem with valleys bound by hills.
Nandhaur Wild Life Sanctuary,, today holds the large population of the Tiger in the area. The region is thus one of the last remaining strongholds which support a potentially viable population of this majestic and critically endangered felid. It along with theNandhaur Wildlife Sanctuary National Park also represents the North-Western most limits of Tiger distribution in the Indian subcontinent.
The most apparent feature that sets Nandhaur apart from other sites in the shivalikbhabar region is that the Nandhaur region is predominantly mountainous and is characterized by narrower valleys bound by hill slopes which are much steeper in Nandhaur.
