Sitabani Wildlife Reserve has a hill range located near the Kumaon Himalayas. It is surrounded on the three sides by the heavily dense Sal forest which connects Sitabani Wildlife Reserve to the world-famous Jim Corbett National Park. In the northern region, Sitabani Wildlife Reserve is attached to the Oak and Rhododendron Himalayan mountain forests of the Nainital forest division. The entire western region is covered by the aesthetic sub-tributary of the Kosi river which makes the wildlife reserve a surefire place to pay a visit.

Being an inseparable part of the trans-Himalayan extensive birding range, Sitabani Wildlife Reserve has both mountain and plain birds that come with latitudinal and altitudinal migration patterns. There are some Himalayan animal species e.g. Himalayan Black Bear, Himalayan weasel, Yellow-throated Pine Marten, Himalayan Goral and Serow that visit the reserve almost every winter season.

There’s a fun fact that states Indian leopards in Sitabani Wildlife Reserve inhabit the rocky cliffs and most of the time they travel through gorges to avoid interaction with the dominant predator which is the renowned Royal-Bengal Tiger. The tigers prefer the thickly forested valleys and lowlands.
