    History

    The Neora Valley was largely unexplored until the mid-20th century due to its dense forests and challenging terrain. Recognizing its ecological significance, the area was declared a National Park in 1986. The name 'Neora' is derived from the Neora River, which flows through the valley. Before its establishment as a protected area, the region was primarily used for timber extraction and limited agriculture by local communities. The declaration of the National Park aimed to conserve the biodiversity and protect the fragile ecosystem from further exploitation. Since then, efforts have been focused on managing the park sustainably, promoting eco-tourism, and involving local communities in conservation initiatives. Research and monitoring activities are also conducted to understand the park's ecological dynamics and inform management decisions.
