Adina Deer Park, Wildlife refuge in Gazole, India

Adina Deer Park is a wildlife refuge in the Gazole block that protects forest habitat where several deer species live. The site maintains its natural woodland character and supports populations of animals adapted to this environment.

Adina Deer Park lies in the Gazole block of Malda district, West Bengal, about 21 kilometres from Malda city. It functions as a breeding centre for chital (spotted deer) in the state, and its herd sometimes overflows; nilgai also live there. Despite the name, the deer enclosure is only a small fraction of the site, protected within an orchard plantation.

The park's name comes from Adina, the orchard plantation area in Malda district where the deer enclosure sits; the deer park itself covers only a small fraction of the protected orchard land. The woods draw birdwatchers looking for Asian openbill, paradise flycatcher, prinia, oriole and fish eagle.

The refuge is accessible through entry points in the Gazole block where visitors can walk into forest areas. Moving quietly and slowly through the landscape gives the best chance to observe the animals that live there.
