Little known and lying at the foot of the Bhutan hills (Eastern Himalayas), the Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary with its panoramic view, covering an area of 216 sq. km., has special significance by maintaining remnants of terai grasslands harboring endangered Great Indian One Horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis).
Established in 1941, it is situated in Alipurduar, sub division of Jalpaiguri district in West Bengal. The river Tosha flows through this rain forest sanctuary. The Malangi river also flows nearby from east to west.
