Jorpokhri

Jorpokhri (জোড় পোখরি) is a small lake village on a hilltop in Darjeeling district near LepchaJagat. The place located about 23 kms. away from fascinating Darjeeling town. The name of this village derives from two-lakes, ‘Jor’ meaning is two and ‘Pokhri’ meaning is Lake. Jorpokhri offers a magnificent view of Mt. Kanchenjunga along with number of snowcapped ranges. This is very peaceful and romantic place, situated just above of congested and over crowed Sukhiapokhri.

          The road from Siliguri to Jorpokhri is so charming and great experience through deep green scenery and tea gardens. The last two kilometers go through dense forest to the top of the hill and suddenly you will see flat land. Two well decorated lakes are the main attraction of Jorpokhri, you can spend an entire day with lakes, mountains and silence. Take a small stroll to nearby Lord Shiva temple, the temple located at very nearby of the lake, also you can take a short trip to Pashupati Nath Market, Nepal border, Ghoom and Darjeeling.
