Located at an altitude of about 61 metres above sea level, the Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary stretches around an area of about 114 sq. km. The town is famous for one-horned rhinos, royal Bengal tigers, wild elephants, sambhar, barking deer, spotted deer and hog deer, wild pig, bisons and a number of birds and peafowls. Situated in Alipurduar Sub-Division of Jalpaiguri District, the sanctuary also houses Bengal florican, hornbill, racket-tailed drongo and paradise flycatcher, among others. Elephants and Safari Jeeps are available to tour the entire sanctuary. Jaldapara was once the land of the primitive tribal people, called Toto. These people at present live in Totopara that lies in the northern side of the park. Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1941 with the primary objective to protect the rare Great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros. After Kaziranga, Jaldapara has the highest number of one-horned rhinos. This sanctuary has mixed deciduous forests, grasslands, perennial streams, extensive areas of elephant grass and sandy river banks. Along with the River Torsha flowing through this rain forest, the Malangi River flows from East to West. Jalpaiguri district, being close to North-East India, offers an amalgamation of both the cultures. Tourists can find Tibetan paintings, woollen garments and wooden handicrafts in different parts of the district. Darjeeling Tea forms the most famous shopping item. The Park remains closed from June through September due to heavy monsoon. October through May is the best time to visit the Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary. Tourists also visit this sanctuary during winters, between September and February, to catch a glimpse of the migratory birds.
