Jorpokhri Wildlife Sanctuary, Dalkajhar Forest

Located 19km from the Darjeeling town, Jorpokhri is situated at a height of 7,400ft and offers pretty AF views of the Kanchenjunga peak. It is the place of twin lakes – ‘jor’ means two, and ‘pokhri’ refers to a water body – and is the place to head to if you’re in search of a flock of beautiful white swans.

When you are here, the Jorpokhri Wildlife Sanctuary simply cannot be missed. Jorpokhri is home to many a Himalayan Salamanders. Spot the Kanchenjunga on one side and enjoy the lush Darjeeling and Kurseong landscapes on the other. Also add Lepchajagat and Pashupati Market to your itinerary! You can begin this trek from Manebhanjan, and enjoy Sukiapokhari along the way, or reach here from Siliguri.

Call me snobbish, but I only prefer classics: like vanilla ice cream, and yellow Lays. My best friends think my autobiography should be named “But That’s Too Cliché” – apparently, I’m allergic to all things obvious. (I hope you see the irony).
