    This place is worth to go as being a place of habitat of many wild animals and other species. The counter closes at 4 PM and ticket cost is Rs.60/- only. For foreigners the cost is Rs.100/- and there is separate charge for camera which is very nominal say Rs.10/-. Coming to the zoo, the shows topper is the Royal Bengal Tiger. It is kept inside a big area covered with high iron fencing but one can easily see it walking and doing its other activities. It's an amazing experience. Other attractions are red panda, white snow leopard, bison, Himalayan wolf etc. Many reptiles and birds are also there to watch, specially for kids. They must be having a great time. The only exhausting thing is the hilly terrain. when one covers zoo by walking to see those animals, the path is upwards and than downwards which is quite exhaustive. But watching them is really an amazing experience and one must experience this once. Outside the zoo, many local shops are there selling some snacks like berries, fried peas, rosted chickpeas etc which is a must try. There are some stalls also selling tea,coffee,Maggie,breads where one can satisfy his/her appetite. When going Darjeeling, please pay visit to this zoo and experience once in a lifetime feeling. Happy traveling and please like if you find it useful. 🐆🐅🐯🦌🪱🌻🌼🐍🐍🐦🕊

    Ideally I don’t like the concept of zoo. But this becomes a popular tourist site so visited. Place was neat and clean . You can opt for few fun activities near mountaineering institute. The ticket price is now 60 and 10 rs for camera and for foreigners it’s 100. You don’t need any guide as you can roam around easily

    The best zoo I have ever visited. Loved how spacious and comforting it was for the animals that are kept here. All the animals and birds are given ample space which is what I loved the most. It was really neat and clean and there was no bad odour or anything like that near animals & birds which proves that this place is really well maintained. The staff takes really good care of animals and they also show you "Keep Silence" sign boards so animals don't get disturbed by your visit. Don't miss to visit this place.

    Very well maintained Zoo, One of biggest in Hill Stations that I have visited. Darjeeling Zoo is also very old and still remains one of the main highlights in terms of sight seeing.

    Darjeeling zoo is one of the most popular tourist destinations and is situated amidst the mountains. It's main attractions are the special variety of Himalayan species. The zoo is well maintained and clean. The animals are very well treated and protected by the authorities. It would take at least one and half hours to complete the entire area, the surroundings are wonderful and serene with fresh pollution free breeze. A few small eateries were present inside the premises for food. It's a must visit place, specially if you are going with kids.

    This has to be one of the most well maintained and beautiful zoos that I have ever been to. Many of the animals were kept in open spaces. The animals looked well fed, well cared for, and happy. We were able to see the beautiful red pandas and snow leopard. Apart from that, the black panther, Himalayan wolves, and the birds were a sight to behold. The place wasn't crowded. Authorities were well placed and took care of patrons. Some of the visitors were unruly and loud, and were acting in a way that made me want to put them in cages instead. But that's not the zoo's fault, of course. They tried to maintain as much decorum as possible. Overall, it was a really pleasant experience and would recommend everyone to visit the place at least once.

    It is a zoo situated in mountains which means it caged animals from the hills. It covered a large area of this place and beautifully maintained. The importance of this zoo is mostly for tge snow leopards and red panda. The Himalayan Tahr, grey peacock, Himalayan salamander, different types of deer, beer, lion etc made the zoo so attractive. The zoo is famous for its conservation breeding. But the walking paths are little steep.

    The zoo is cleaner and much well maintained than the Kolkata Zoo. If you are fortunate enough...you might be able to view the Royal Bengal Tiger just in front of your eyes...the enclosures are big and designed specially for each animal. The Reptile house is small but the size of the Reticulated Pythons were huge...Not only animals birds ranging from the Macaw to the African Grey Parrot...and a wide variety of pheasants can be observed here. The famous attraction is,however,the Red Panda....which is really a beautiful animal to see. Luckily we were even able to watch the leopard,the black panther and a snow leopard and except the snow leopard the other two were all awake. I am sure that children as well as adults are really going to enjoy their visit. Another thing, I would recommend people to visit the Tenzing Norgay HMI(Himalayan Mountaineering Institute). And, outside the institute there is an obstacle course with a zipline where children and adults can test their potential and have a lot of fun. Then, you can also go to the wall climbing booth and climb a mountain wall. Overall, it was a very fun and enjoyable experience.

    You can find various types of animals and birds. A very organized zoo. But the main attraction is the museum. You will be thrilled if you love mountain treking. The museum will give you goosebumps for sure. Apart from that the zoo is a very nice spot to hanging with friends and families. If you visit darjeeling zoo is a must come spot for you. If you want yo explore the whole zoo including the museum it can take nearly 2.30 hours.

    This visit was totally unplanned but it was a great visit. We were able to see royal Bengal tiger. Zoo is so well maintained and so clean Bombay should learn from this zoo. There are many other animals like snow leopard, wolf. There's also mountaineering institute which is very beautifully planned and shows history of expedition and also the whole Himalayan range. There is replica of ranges. Worth visiting.

The zoo is very clean. A lot of tourist visits this zoo around the year. This zoo is a must visit for family outing in Darjeeling.

    Darjeeling,west bengal - Queen of Himalayas.For Nature lover's Must visit. Exploring "the tea capital of the world" Darjeeling one of the most beautiful hill stations in Eastern part of India.Cool climate all year round.Green tea plantation look's very beautiful.This scenic hill station is the perfect getaway for a romantic honeymoon.Producing the worldwide famous 'Darjeeling Tea'. Beautiful colonial architecture including mansions and churches dot this little beautiful town.The third highest peak in the world and the highest in India.Darjeeling is known as a hill station town, or a town set high up in the hills. In Darjeeling’s case, the hills that make it a hill station are actually the Himalayan mountains.Monkeys, elephants, wild cats, and even endangered red pandas are all native to the area as well. And yes, you can see these adorable little creatures in person at the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoo, a favorite Darjeeling attraction! The railway was added to the UNESCO Heritage site list.The Town Has An Amazing Cable Car Ropeway.Beautiful Nature, clicks Beautiful photographs.

    This Zoological garden is really awesome. Here you have to purchase a ticket for entering to this zoological garden. Per person ticket cost is 20 rupees. If you travelling to Darjeeling then this will be a must option for you. You will love to visit this place full of greenery view with animals. Here you can see Black Panther, Royal Bengal Tiger. Mountaineering club is also here where you will get a vast experience of Himalayan expedition. You will love this place for sure.

  • 5/5 sayantan b. 1 year ago on Google
    It's the best zoo in the entire country based on both on the variety of animals, and the cleanliness & maintenance. The collection is fascinating for a small mountain zoo. This probably the only zoo to have RED PANDA! Also, Snow Leopard, Himalayan Wolf, Black Panther-which I have never seen in any zoo of India. It's a must visit place. Also, this remains closed on Thursday. Try to avoid visiting the zoo on holidays or Sunday as it remains too crowded and Indian groups are not really the most well behaved for either the animals or the other human beings. 😅

  • 5/5 Debalina D. 1 year ago on Google
    We mainly went there to see the Red Panda but were amazed to see a variety of animals and birds there which we rarely see anywhere. Also this is worth mentioning that the policemen present inside the zoo were really doing a great job! They were keeping the zoo clean like some people were just throwing chocolate wrappers or chips packets on the road and the policemen over there were literally picking those up and throwing them into the dustbins. I really appreciate the effort of those policemen because there wasn't a single piece of waste lying on the path and that's exactly how we all should maintain our surroundings.

    This Zoo one of most well preserved zoo that I've seen so far in my life. Here the animals are well taken care of and have decent space for their living. The best thing about this zoo is that it holds the rare, exotic High altitude Himalayan species that you won't find in any others zoo's in India that includes snow leopard, red panda, black panthers and many other rare birds.

    Me and wife visited in the month of May rooms are spacious and staff Is friendly which is a plus point. There IA no view to the rooms. And the food was uncooked and tasteless. We expected to get much more for what we paid and it was a disappointing experience. I would not recommend this stay to anyone as it was not worth it.

    Zoo is well kept. The collection of animals is very interesting. We came across many animals which we had not heard of before. Please note 1) The Zoo has a steep climb and can be tiring for old ppl. 2) We were not able to spot the snow leopard. Most of the adults are kept in a separate breeding center. There is only one young shy snow leopard in the zoo who usually hides from the public. 3) the Himalayan mountaineering institute and natural history museum are in the same premises.

    I was surprised at how much I enjoyed staying at this hotel. It is clean, well located. Behavior of staff is excellent. It is located about 8 mins walk from Mall, an open area which seems like a nice gathering place for people. Additionally there is a bit longer road by the side of the mountain with views of the Himalayas on a good clear day. At the very least, one can see the nearby mountains. This path is most taken by pedestrians. So easy to walk on. There are observation spots along this path. The restaurant has a wide offering of foods. We took room service a few times. The food was of good quality and came on a timely manner.

    The best zoo you will ever visit in a hilly area. Filled with different types of animals including Royal Bengal Tiger, Panthers and wolves. There are bears who play with a ball, but it's very moody. It has a museum depicting the mountaineering history, equipments and culture. It has also a training center for climbers.

    Nice place . Many kinds of birds , cats , cheetahs are there in the zoo . Red Panda is the main attraction though . The whole place is on hills ie. You have to climb up the hills to see the cages with animals ... Wheelchairs are available on request , so no worry for older or specially abled people ...

There was one shop inside where one can seat and have tea and snacks its very cheap and reasonable.

There are some mountaineering activities which are payable. Zoo is average, the best I liked is Red Panda & snow leopard. The most exciting is the mountaineering museum. This museum has the collection of all the equipments and machines used by different mountaineers in expeditions of the Mount Everest. There are so much information on Himalayas and mountains surrounding India you should not miss.

    This is the zoo situated at Darjiling having so many animals. This zoo is absolutely fantastic in hilly and forest atmosphere. So many people visited the zoo who had come to Darjiling. We saw their red panda, royal bengal tiger, black bear, snow leopard and many more. This zoo is famous for red pandas.

    Would call the zoo, best or no.1 Tourist spot in Darjeeling. If you are traveling with kids this is 1 spot u should not miss from ur list to visit in Darjeeling. Red Panda 🐼 is the show stopper. It was home for Bengal tiger🐅 black panther, mountain deer, fox🐺 🦊, gorilla, 🐒 monkey's, Macau 🦜birds, white peacock It has a in-house Musium with wonderful display of varieties of species. Himalayan Mountain ⛰ Institute adventure park is fun filled spot with tight rope walk, zip line for teens and adults. HMI Musium and 3D shows are 👌.

    One of the major attractions of Darjeeling if you are an animal lover. Snow leopard and red panda are its major attractions. Various wild goats, deers, wolves, leopard, black panther, Royal Bengal tiger are also sheltered by this zoo. You can also see jungle cat, leopard cat, various fishes, types of reptiles in this zoo. Various types of birds are also an attraction of this zoo. View of the Darjeeling city from this zoo is mesmerizing.

    Very old zoological park, well maintained. Seen some rare animal species. Loved Red Pandas. Personally don't like to see animals and birds caged, if one has love for animals then visit but do not disturb them. The huge area is surrounded by tall trees , many bird species are also there uncaged. Birders can give it a try.

  • 5/5 Atreyee S. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice place for animal lovers like myself I should say...but I was not quite lucky as I visited the zoo during winter and the reptiles were hibernating, so that section of the zoo was closed. But overall, I can say it's a great place to visit with family and friends during holidays.

  • 4/5 Bharat 2 years ago on Google
    One of the attractions of Darjeeling if you are an animal lover. Even though the animals are caged there is a lot of space for them to roam inside. Black Panther, Snow leopard, regular leopard, Wild Boar and red panda are few of the good attractions. Among other animals are wild wolves, deers, goats, Royal Bengal tiger etc and many types of reptiles as well. Birds like Parrots, macaus are there. It's a great place to visit with family and friends.

  • 5/5 Saumya B. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean, well maintained zoo with various specious of animals and birds. All animals are healthy and well visible. Must see .

  • 5/5 Rahul M. 2 years ago on Google
    A good zoological park which is well maintained in comparison to other cities zoo properly manned and with proper information about the animals and with proper markings on the road to guide the tourists. A wide variety of flora and fauna can be seen inside the zoo also has endangered species like Red panda, clouded leopard or snow leopard cockatoos macaws ond other species. I'm attaching some pics for your reference. A must go place if you are in Darjeeling

  • 4/5 Tapas P. 2 years ago on Google
    Must visit place in Darjeeling. Red panda and snow leopard are the main attraction of the zoo. Ticket price is ₹60 & Thursday closed. HMI & Bengal history museum situated in the same place. No need to buy ticket for HMI and BHM. Minimum 1.5 hours need to visit the zoo, HMI and BHM altogether.

  • 5/5 Karan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't let the entry of the hotel deceive you! The hotel is a vintage palace inside. It's massive and has a very fresh vibe. It's maintained very well and painted every few weeks. We had the attic room which were completely made in wood. The staff is extremely polite, friendly and hospitable. The hotel opens up to the mall road and it barely takes 8 minutes to walk it to the mall road.

  • 5/5 Chandrani S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's probably the best hotel in Darjeeling. Had a wonderful stay there. They have very nice and bright pastel shades and flower plants all over the hotel. Very courteous staff, great food and superior hospitality. Would love to visit again!

  • 5/5 rahul j. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven’t stayed here because I am a local. But I have tried their buffet dinner many times and it is highly recommended. Food is good with lots of variety. And staff are unbelievably courteous. Lots of smiles everywhere.

    Wow. This is how we felt at Mayfair. Very nice location. Hotel is clean, good quality is excellent, staff is polite, service is best, ample space to move around. Rooms are spacious and clean. I'll rate it 5 out of 5.

  • 5/5 abhinandan c. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed at one of the Deluxe Rooms of this heritage hotel with the family from 07th March to 11th March,2022. One of the most picturesque hotel I have ever stayed in India, where each part of the hotel is a beauty to behold. The rooms are tastefully designed with the fireplace adding to its charm. Very hospitable staff both in the front desk as well at the restaurant makes the experience a bit more sweeter. The tariff although is on a higher side, but I personally felt it is worth after the stay. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a stay at the 'Queen of Hills'.

  • 5/5 Saurabh B. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent hotel with above and beyond hospitality. The views from the higher rooms are just amazing. High,y recommended if looking for a 5-STAR like accommodation. Make sure to book in advance.

  • 5/5 Vinayak 1 year ago on Google
    The hotel is wonderful. Make sure to get one of the cottages since they have a very good view outside of the hills. Near the hotel is a view point for Mt. Kanchenjunga another marvelous sight. The food and rooms are at par with the rates.

  • 5/5 Avinash G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a very beautiful hotel. And to top that even the hospitality is great. The hotel is decorated beautifully. It has a vintage reception, nice show pieces and paintings along the passageways, a grand restaurant and a very well maintained landscape. The rooms are also given a very nice vintage feel with fireplace and wooden furniture. The bed was huge. Now about the hospitality, the staff were very friendly and helpful. They have really well managed processes for early checkouts, food considerations and room service. And the food had a great taste. We were really annoyed after seeing the traffic in darjeeling but as soon as we entered mayfair we felt very happy and our happiness stayed till we left this place. I surely recommend this hotel when in darjeeling.

    We have stayed in the Orchid Villa, from where the view towards mountain is just awesome, the food varity here is also commendable as you can find the entire Indian food varity here. The ambience and the people serving for the hotel is just like the ambience very cool and calm. In one shot must go and stay at this hotel.

  • 5/5 Manjunath R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good location closer to the mall, beautiful facility, great service, good food, very nice rooms (though the views from the rooms are not). Great experience overall. One of the best things of our visit to Darjeeling.

  • 5/5 Rebeka 1 year ago on Google
    Our stay at Mayfair was as relaxing as it was exciting. The interiors, the food, the evening concerts and of course their brilliant hospitality - everything was super brilliant. Already planning the next trip! :D

  • 5/5 Rachit M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best zoo ever visited. You will be disappointed if you are looking for large varieties of animals rather than having big pool of animals only animals from Himalayan ecosystem are housed there. There are hardly 20 mammals but it's a niche experience. One can see Snow leopard and red panda there which are in very few zoos across the world. It's a must visit place in Darjeeling.

  • 5/5 Rishi C. 1 year ago on Google
    The zoo has a very large collection of animals and birds and was really thrilled to see them. Some animals are kept in huge open enclosures, while others have ponds and small lakes. It was an enjoyable day at the zoo and got to see, and learn about so many different animals.

  • 5/5 Arundhuti M. 1 year ago on Google
    I was 1.5 years old when my mom and dad last took me to this place obviously nothing was captured by my dull brain. But this time when i visited i felt how the IUCN s are working laboriously to conserve our faunas and floras from the damage we could cause to them unintentionally.

  • 5/5 Hajira F. 1 year ago on Google
    Not many things in Darjeeling to explore , if you are coming to darjeeling to enjoy greenery and weather then its fine or else not much to do actually , zoo is nice , neat and clean , ticket is 60 per person , i had no kids so have no idea about kid ticket!

  • 5/5 surojit h. 1 year ago on Google
    Himalayan Zoological park, it's best place to visit for all to seeing Black Panther,Snow leopard,bear,Red panda & many more thing.

  • 4/5 Leo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Found the zoo pretty engaging especially as it comes bundled along with the Himalyan Mountaineering Institute. We spent easily more than a couple of hours here and beautiful weather didn't make us sweat even for a moment. While I personally enjoy the animals in the natural habitat it is rare to find gems like the Red Panda and the Snow Leopard 🐆 so I settled for this. The HMI gave a lot of information that made us appreciate the efforts to reach heights where few dare...

  • 5/5 Suprava G. 1 year ago on Google
    It has the endangered Red Panda, the snow leopard, the common leopard, the black panther, the clouded leopard, the Himalayan bear, the wolfs, the Royal Bengal tiger as pivotal attractions. This zoo doesn't contain a lot of animals but some remarkable ones. It also has a dome consisting of different bird species such as the Macaque, the parrots, the pheasants and the Cockatoos. It has many other deer species, buffaloes, etc. It has many species such as salamanders, snakes, etc. Very good zoo with the more ethical approach towards the animals. the animal are not caged whenever possible they are just bordered with walls you can watch them through the roads the place also consists of very unique animal like snow leopard Royal Bengal Tiger Red Panda and many more the place also consists of Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and Bengal natural museum the ticket prices 60 and higher for non SAARC countries it opens normally around 8:30 a m m m it will take at least 3 hour to visit the whole area even if you are skipping 50% things.. A museum is also present inside and a mountaineering institute. All these at the cost of 60/- only. And it closes at 4:30 pm so you shouldn't be late.The place is so open and without cages. The animals are separated by boundaries though. It feels so fresh and good to visit such a beautiful place full of flowering plants and surrounded by mountains. I enjoyed visiting the Red Panda the most, about which I have only studied in books. It was so cute. I loved this visit and would love to revisit it soon. I would strongly recommend you to give it a try and especially if you have children along with you.

    This was a really nice stay in Darjeeling. The room was warm and the staff was really accommodating. There is also a nice game room. They also made packed breakfasts for us when we needed to leave early for tours and travel. We really enjoyed the couples massage we booked.

    A brand that promises its guests ultimate luxury in the lap of nature. As you enter you are welcomed by the lovely blooms and a elevator takes you down to the reception that’s awesome.The Royal British Ambiance will surely attract and the hand picked show pieces are undoubtedly rare. One can capture the picture-perfect view of the Kanchanjunga from the room.Well maintained property.Warm hospitality, committed team of courteous staff,good food and what else do you need.Absolutely premium experience and worth every penny. Must visit.

    Not much to do in the hotel. It's a small place. The hotel is on a hill top so has a great ambience and chilly air always. The rooms have a fireplace which adds the cherry on the cake. The entire hotel is filled with variety of plants so it's eye soothing for anyone.

  • 5/5 Suparna K. 9 months ago on Google
    We stayed in the Campbell room. Beautifully appointed, cozy rooms.. a bit of a concern would be that these rooms may get very hot and stuffy during the summers (as temperatures nowadays are increasing to new highs). They have provided fans but if temperatures keep increasing that may not suffice. The rooms are very well decorated and they provide a wide range of teas, coffee, sodas, and snacks for the guests. I really appreciated how generous they are and the fact that they provide glass bottles for water. The hotel is gorgeous with lovely flowers all over the place. It's quiet (opposite the Governor's House) and a great place to see Darjeeling the way it used to be decades ago. It's a bright and colourful spot that is an easy 10 minute stroll away from the main Chowrasta at the Mall. There are viewpoints a minutes walk away and you can sit there and enjoy the mountain views and the elusive Kanchenjunga (if you visit in June). Their restaurant is fantastic with wide variety, great food, and excellent service. The management has done an amazing job with the way they have maintained the place and the way they make every guest's stay so comfortable... Would love to visit again!

    Awesome place. My family had a long stay here and honestly speaking we enjoyed every moment spent in this hotel. The looks, the ambiance, staff, the location, the food, rooms, infrastructure, amenities, you name it and it was top class. The hospitality was superlative and this is one place I would recommend not only in Darjeeling but also in every part of the country wherever you can. It was a shame we couldn't book Mayfair while we were in Gangtok. I wish 7 stars could be given to the guys here. To make your trip memorable and if you've got kids, look no further. Excellent, very warm and cosy room.

    Nice property right across from the governors bungalow. Views are not so clean since there's other cement mostrositites that are between the hotel room and the valley. It's an old British estate house that was bought by a local zamindar, restored before it passed to the hotel chain. Service is very nice, staff are attentive and friendly. The breakfast buffet and evening tea and snacks are very good
