Located at an elevation of more than 7,000 feet above sea level, Singalila National Park is the highest national park in the town. The splendorous views of the valley from this place also make it one of the most unique places to visit in Darjeeling.
The gloriousness of this beautiful park shows in its 79 km sprawled forest of Rhododendron and spectacular flora and fauna. But that’s not all - the enigmatic views of the Himalayan ranges here blend with the misty weather and stunning alpine valley. All of this natural beauty will leave you mesmerized and you wouldn’t want to leave this gorgeous National Park ever.
You might also spot the otherwise rare sighting of Red Panda and Himalayan Black Bear. The most inspiring thing about this place is that it strictly prohibits poaching and hunting of animals. Also, the trekking route of this area is quite unexplored and full of amazing trails.
