Jorapokhri

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.
