Pangolakha Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife refuge in East Sikkim district, India.
The Pangolakha Wildlife Sanctuary spans 124 square kilometers across elevations from 1,760 to 4,390 meters in the eastern Himalayas of Sikkim.
The sanctuary establishment in 1999 created a protected corridor connecting the forests of Bhutan with the Neora Valley National Park in West Bengal.
Local communities in villages like Mankhim and Dalepchand participate through Eco-Development Committees to maintain traditional conservation practices.
The sanctuary remains accessible from Rangpo city through a 40-kilometer road network, with several mountain hamlets offering accommodation options.
Three mountain lakes within the sanctuary - Kupup, Tsomgo, and Hangu - freeze during winter and attract migratory water birds.
