Jore Pokhri Wildlife Sanctuary
Jore Pokhri Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the Queen of the Hills in Darjeeling District, West Bengal. It is home to several high-altitude animals such as the Himalayan Salamander which is locally famous as Gora. This place is about 20 km away from Darjeeling town and is said to be well set on a hilltop and is certainly a must-visit owing to its picturesque views.
If we need to describe the major attraction of Jore Pokhri then we can simply state that it has to be the twin lakes after which the place is named as Jore is translated as two and Pokhri simply means Lake in the Nepali language.
