Red Pandas on the Roof of Bengal

Singalila National Park lies along the Singalila Ridge near Darjeeling in West Bengal, India, following the border with Nepal. Its bamboo and rhododendron forests shelter red pandas, which eat mainly bamboo, along with fruit and eggs.

Sandakphu, the highest point in West Bengal, rises inside the park. On clear mornings it offers views of Kanchenjunga and Everest. Trekkers walk the ridge, while old Land Rovers carry others along the rough road.

In spring, rhododendrons paint the forests red and pink. The Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park in Darjeeling breeds red pandas, and some have been released into Singalila to strengthen the wild population, while local guides help visitors spot them quietly in the treetops.
