Ever seen a clouded leopard?

The Himalayan Zoological Garden offers a peek into some of the most exotic flora and fauna of the mountains.

Situated at a height of 5,840 ft. (1780 m) at Bulbuley, it is about three km from Gangtok.

Spread across 200 hectares, the park is a home to the barking deer, the red panda, spotted deer, bear, the civet cat, the clouded leopard, the snow leopard. The zoological garden is really awesome, extremely picturesque and a relaxing place to spend a day.
