About Jaldapara

Jaldapara National Park is West Bengal's largest national park, sheltering the state's biggest rhinoceros population in the tall Dooars grasslands at the foot of the Bhutan Himalayas. The park offers elephant-back safaris — one of the most traditional and atmospheric ways to observe rhinos and elephants at close range. The Torsa River forms the park's northern boundary.
