Jaldapara National Park - Where adventure roars!

Declared a sanctuary in 1941 to protect the Indian one-horned rhinoceros, Jaldapara's history is rooted in conservation efforts. The area was once a hunting ground for the Cooch Behar royal family. Recognizing the ecological significance of the region, the government took steps to preserve its biodiversity. Over the years, the sanctuary was upgraded to a national park in 2012, further strengthening its protection status. The park's management has focused on combating poaching, managing habitat, and promoting eco-tourism to ensure the long-term survival of its diverse flora and fauna. Local communities are also involved in conservation efforts, promoting sustainable practices and reducing human-wildlife conflict.
