Morni Hills is known for its Himalayan views, flora, and lakes. A hill divides two lakes: the larger Tikkar Taal (550m wide, 460m long) and the smaller Chota Tikkar Taal (365m wide and long). As legend goes, there is a hidden channel linking them, as the water level of both lakes remains roughly the same. A 12th-century temple exists near the Tikkar Taal. Wildlife at Morni Hills includes jackals, Langurs, Hare, Hyenas, Neelgai, Wild Boars, Barking Deer, Sambar and even Leopards. Dormitory accommodation for campers is available.
Visitor Reviews
“Morni has a fascinating range of flora and fauna. Pines crown the hilltops and trees like neem, oak, pipal, jamun and jacaranda cover the slopes. When the flowering trees blossom, the hillsides are awash with colour — a must visit!”
