Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park Country : India
State : West Bengal
City : Darjeeling
This zoo was established in 1958 with the objectives of study, conservation and preservation of Himalayan fauna. The animals are well cared for by dedicated keepers. To protect and breed the dwindling stocks of wild animals, to educate the public and instill in them a sense of the worth of these wonderful creatures, it is necessary to keep them in pseudo-natural habitats. The zoo houses India's only collection of Siberian tigers and some rare species, such as the red panda and the Tibetan wolf.
Darjelling is famous for it's tea growing. Tally's grandparent's tea plantation in Darjelling India.
They are retired, but a family member still runs it.

The monastery has also preserved some rare handwritten Buddhist manuscripts. Ghoom, at an altitude of about 2,407 metres, offers a spectacular view of Darjeeling town .
