Jaldapara National Park
Home to the Indian one-horned rhino and elephants, the Jaldapara National Park in the foothills of the Eastern Himalaya and on the bank of the Torsa River is one of the newly built national parks in India. The forest spreads across an area of 217 square kilometers and is dotted with tall elephant grasses and riverine forests.
The Jaldapara National Park is a haven for bird watchers with the rare Bengal Florican being the major attraction amongst the bird species. Some other bird species that are spotted in the park are Crested Eagles, Pallas’s Fish Eagles, Finn’s Weavers, Peafowls, and Partridges.
The Pied Hornbill is yet another rare bird species that you might spot here, but only if you are lucky enough. Nonetheless, reptiles like Pythons, Monitor Lizards, Kraits, and Cobras are some common sights. Some of the common animals found in Jaldapara National Park are Sambar Deer, Barking Deer, Spotted Deer, Hog Deer, Wild Boars, and Bisons.
