The Bengal Natural History Museum is a visual delight for nature lovers as it contains an exhaustive collection of almost 4300 specimens, including rare reptiles, birds, insects, fishes as well as mammals. All these specimens are of real creatures that were captured and preserved. The butterfly and beetle section merits special mention. Specimens of estuarine crocodile are also seen here.

This was one of my favorite local/Tourist point in Darjeeling. This is one of the most amazing part of this journey that I got the opportunity to watch and see the birds so closely who are almost a century old. Yes the famous Bengal museum was constructed in the year 2010 and there are many pet's and animals available there who's real body is available. They have kept and arranged everything so beautifully that you cannot ignore it's worth. Must go place worth.
