Jore Pokhri Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Darjeeling district, India.
The sanctuary contains twin lakes at an elevation of 2 kilometers, with one lake featuring a snake model and seating arrangements for visitors.
The sanctuary started protecting regional flora and fauna in 1985, following the rediscovery of Himalayan Salamanders in the area during 1964.
The sanctuary incorporates several temples within its boundaries, reflecting the religious practices of local communities near the Nepal border.
Visitors can reach the sanctuary through Bagdogra Airport or New Jalpaiguri Railway Station, with accommodations available at Jorepokhri Tourist Lodge.
The sanctuary serves as a protection zone for Himalayan Salamanders, locally known as Gora, which inhabit the high-altitude environment.
