Neora Valley national park is a unique area that is nestled in the valley of Kalimpong hills of West Bengal bordering Sikkim & Bhutan. It is one of the richest ecological zones in the country and is famous for its numerous species of orchids and ferns apart from being an excellent spot for birding offering an opportunity to view and capture hundreds of rare endemic birds. The Park’s unique combination of mixed flora and climate makes it the habitat of endangered species like the red panda and musk deer. It is named after the river Neora that runs through it. Virgin natural forests, dense bamboo groves, colourful canopy of rhododendron trees, lush green valley, meandering rivers and streams with snowcapped mountains in the backdrop form a picturesque landscape.
