Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park

This park is most renowned for its Red Panda and Snow Leopard breeding program, and it is one of the most popular sites to visit in Darjeeling. The Zoological Park, which spans 65.56 acres, is home to some of India's most endangered animal species, including snow leopards, red pandas, and Himalayan Salamanders.

The park is known as Darjeeling Zoo, and it was given that name by Indira Gandhi to honour Padmaja Naidu, the former Governor of West Bengal and daughter of Sarojini Naidu. More than 200 plant species, including Oak, Birch, and Alder, may be found within the zoo.
