Jorpokhri is a small rarely visited hamlet near Darjeeling,situated at an altitude of 7400ft.The place lies on the road connecting Darjeeling with Mirik at a distance of about 16 km from Darjeeling. What makes this place more pristine is the presence of two small natural lakes and the dense, green pine woods around. In fact, the word Jorpokhri comes from two local words: “jor” meaning two and “pokhri” meaning “pond.” The twin lakes are an abode of swans and are also the breeding ground for the endangered Himalayan Salamanders.
