May 19, 2008
The Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park was established in 1958 for research and conservation of Himalayan fauna.
Located below the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute or HMI on the slopes of Jawahar Parbhat, the Darjeeling Zoo is one of the most highly regarded in India as it is a sanctuary to rare wildlife. Expect to see the Siberian tigers (the only ones in India), red pandas, Himalayan black bears and the Tibetan wolves. This zoo also houses a Snow Leopard Breeding Centre.
