On the way from Mirik to Darjeeling lies a town of untouched natural beauty called Jorapokhri.
It is situated only 16 kms from Darjeeling and 85Kms from Siliguri.
The presence of a couple of lakes in this area gave rise to the name of this place Jorpokhri.
(JOR-means a lake, POKHRI means lakes).
The lakes are the main attraction in this place.In and around the lake one can notice the Himalayan Salamander, a highly endanagered species of the reptile family.
