Sikkim Himalayan Zoological Park, also known as Himalayan Zoological Park, is perched in the capital city of Sikkim, Gangtok. Spread across an area of 230 hectares, the zoological park is situated at an altitude of 1,780 meters, offering a splendid view of the surrounding hills. The park was established with the aim to conserve wildlife in their natural habitat and to educate visitors about the fauna of the Himalayan region. It is unique because of its habitat approach, where animals live in enclosures that closely resemble their natural habitats. Key attractions include the red panda, snow leopard, Himalayan black bear, Tibetan wolf, and various species of deer and pheasants. The park provides an immersive experience thatâ€™s not just enjoyable but also informative as it includes a forested sanctuary that supports conservation breeding and sustains species that are native to the Himalayas.
