Chapramari
Wildlife Sanctuary nestled in the Dooars plain is a small but one of the oldest
Wildlife Sanctuary in West Bengal. The name Chapramari probably derives from
“Chopra” which means a type of fish and “Mari” which means abundant. The
Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the Nagrakata Block of Jalpaiguri District,
just at the foothills of Kalimpong Sub-division and on the banks of Murti
River. The Reserve Forest since 1895 was declared as a Game Sanctuary in 1939.
In view of its great diversity of flora and fauna it was declared as a Wildlife
Sanctuary in 1998.
After
crossing the main entrance gate of this sanctuary i.e, the Cheek Post of the
Chapramari Wildlife Sanctuary travelers can witness the fascinating diversity
of flora and fauna and the vast texture of the massive trees heltering varieties
of orchids.
The
watchtower is the best place to observe wild animals as they visit the salt pit
near the water body prepared close to the watchtower.
