National park of India on the Singalila Ridge in Darjeeling district, West Bengal
Сингалила ұлттық саябағы – теңіз деңгейінен 2300 метрден жоғары биіктікте, Батыс Бенгалияның Дарджилинг ауданындағы Сингалила жотасында орналасқан Үндістанның ұлттық саябағы. Ол Сандакфуға дейінгі танымал жаяу жолмен әйгілі.
Singalila National Park is a national park of India located on the Singalila Ridge at an elevation of more than 2,300 metres above sea level, in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. It is well known for the trekking route to Sandakphu that runs through it.
Тарих
Парк 1986 жылы жабайы табиғат қорығы деп жарияланды, ал 1992 жылы Үндістанның ұлттық паркі мәртебесі берілді. Бұл аймақ бұрыннан бері Манебханжангтан Сандакфхуға (Батыс Бенгалияның ең биік шыңы) және Фалутқа дейінгі саяхат жолы ретінде қолданылып келген. Дарджилингтегі Сингалила аймағы 1882 жылы Ұлыбритания үкіметі Сикким Дурбарынан сатып алынып, 1878 жылғы Үнді орман заңына сәйкес қорық орманы деп белгіленді. 1992 жылы ұлттық парк ретінде жарияланып, туризм үшін ресми түрде ашылды. Ұлыбританияның көрнекті ботаниктері мен саяхатшыларының бірі Джозеф Далтон Хукер 1849 жылы Сингалила қырқасын зерттеді. Хукердің экспедициясы Дарджилингте орналасты, онда ол табиғатты зерттеуші Брайн Хогтон Ходжсонмен бірге болды. Ходжсон арқылы ол Британдық Шығыс Үндістан компаниясының өкілі Арчибальд Кэмпбеллмен танысты, ол Хукердің Сиккимге кіруіне келісім жасады, бұл 1849 жылы бекітілді. Хукер жергілікті тұрғын Чарльз Барнспен бірге аймақты зерттеді, содан кейін Ранжит өзені бойымен Тееста өзенімен және Непал шекарасындағы Сингалила жотасындағы Тонглу тауына дейін саяхаттады.
The park was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1986, and was made an Indian national park in 1992. The region had long been used as the trekking route from Manebhanjang to Sandakphu (the highest peak of West Bengal) and Phalut. The Singalila area in Darjeeling was purchased by the British Government from Sikkim Durbar in 1882, and notified a Reserve Forest under the Indian Forest Act 1878. It was notified as a National Park in 1992 and was also officially opened up for tourism. One of the greatest British botanists and explorers Joseph Dalton Hooker visited Singalila Ridge in 1849. Hooker's expedition was based in Darjeeling where he stayed with naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson. Through Hodgson he met British East India Company representative Archibald Campbell who negotiated Hooker's admission to Sikkim, which was finally approved in 1849. Hooker explored with local resident Charles Barnes, then travelled along the Rangeet River to its junction with the Teesta River and Tonglu mountain in the Singalila Ridge on the border with Nepal.
География
Сингалила ұлттық паркі Сингалила жотасында, теңіз деңгейінен 2300 метрден 4000 метрге дейінгі биіктікте, 78,6 шаршы километр аумақта орналасқан. Саяси географиясы: Парк Үндістанның Батыс Бенгалия штатындағы Дарджилинг ауданының Дарджилинг бөлімшесінде орналасқан. Солтүстік жағынан Сикким штатымен, батыс жағынан Непалмен шектеседі. Физикалық географиясы: Парк Шығыс Гималайдың бір бөлігі. Сингалила жотасы шамамен солтүстіктен оңтүстікке қарай созылып, Гималайдың Батыс Бенгалиясын оның батысындағы басқа Шығыс Гималай жоталарынан бөліп тұрады. Батыс Бенгалияның ең биік екі шыңы – Сандакфху (3630 м) және Фалут (3600 м) осы жотада және парктің ішінде орналасқан. Раммам және Шрихола өзендері паркі арқылы ағып өтеді. Ескерту: Жанындағы карта ауданның ең маңызды жерлерін көрсетеді. Картада белгіленген барлық орындар үлкен, толық экранды картамен байланыстырылған.
Singalila National Park is located on the Singalila Ridge at an elevation of 2300 metres to 4000 metres above sea level with an area of 78.6 square kilometers. Political geography: The park is located in the Darjeeling subdivision, Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India. It is bordered on the north by the state of Sikkim and on the west by the country of Nepal. Physical geography: The park is part of the Eastern Himalayas. The Singalila Ridge, which runs roughly North to South and separates Himalayan West Bengal from the other Eastern Himalayan ranges to the west of it. The two highest peaks of West Bengal, Sandakphu (3630 m) and Phalut (3600 m), are located on the ridge and inside the park. Rammam river and Srikhola River flow through the park. Note: The map alongside presents some of the notable locations in the subdivision. All places marked in the map are linked in the larger full screen map.
Адамзат тарихы
Парктің адам қонысының айтарлықтай тарихы жоқ. Дегенмен, Сандакфу мен Фалутқа қарайтын саяхат жолы бойында шағын елді мекендер өсіп шықты. Қала Похриде, сол аттас көлдің маңында, салыстырмалы түрде үлкен ауыл бар. 1905 жылы Канченджангаға көтерілуге әрекеттенген алғашқы таушылар тобы Сингалила жотасын жақындау жолы ретінде пайдаланды. Бұл топты Жюль Жако Гиллармо және танымал эзотерик Алестер Кроули басқарды.
The park has no significant history of human settlement. However, small settlements have grown up along the trekking route to Sandakphu and Phalut. There is a reasonably large village at Kala Pokhri, around the lake of the same name. The Singalila Ridge was used as an approach route by the first documented mountaineering team which unsuccessfully attempted to climb Kanchenjunga in 1905. The team was led by Jules Jacot Guillarmod and the famous occultist Aleister Crowley.
Флора
Singalila жотасын 2000-3600 м биіктіктегі қалың бамбук, емен, магнолия және рододендрон ормандары жамылған. Жабайы гүлдердің гүлдеу маусымы екі кезеңде болады: біріншісі көктемде (наурыз және сәуір айларында), рододендрон гүлдегенде, екіншісі жаңбырдан кейінгі маусымда (қазан айы шамасында), төменгі орман гүлдегенде (Примула, Гераниум, Саксифрага, Бисторт, Сенесио, Котонеастер және көптеген орхидеялар). Сандакфху Гималай кобра лилиясының (Arisaema) көптеп өсуіне байланысты "улы өсімдіктер тауы" деп аталады. Өсімдіктер әлемі 2001 жылы зерттелді. Дарджилингтегі Ллойд ботаникалық бағының орхидариумында 50 сирек кездесетін түрі бар, барлығы 2500 орхидея сақталған. Олардың көпшілігі Сингалила ұлттық паркінен әкелінген. Ллойд ботаникалық бағындағы орхидеялардың гүлдеу кестесі:
Thick bamboo, oak, magnolia and rhododendron forest between 2000 and 3600 m cover the Singalila Ridge. There are two seasons of wildflower bloom one in spring (March and April) when the rhododendrons bloom, and another in the post monsoon season (around October), when the lower forests bloom (Primula, Geranium, Saxifraga, Bistort, Senecio, Cotoneaster and numerous orchids). Sandakphu is known as the "mountain of poisonous plants" due to the large concentration of Himalayan cobra lilies (Arisaema) which grow there. The plant life has been surveyed in 2001. The orchidarium of Lloyd Botanical Garden at Darjeeling houses as many as 2,500 orchids, which include 50 rare varieties. Most of these have been brought here from Singalila National Park.

Thick bamboo, oak, magnolia and rhododendron forest between 2000 and 3600 m cover the Singalila Ridge. There are two seasons of wildflower bloom one in spring (March and April) when the rhododendrons bloom, and another in the post monsoon season (around October), when the lower forests bloom (Primula, Geranium, Saxifraga, Bistort, Senecio, Cotoneaster and numerous orchids). Sandakphu is known as the "mountain of poisonous plants" due to the large concentration of Himalayan cobra lilies (Arisaema) which grow there. The plant life has been surveyed in 2001. The orchidarium of Lloyd Botanical Garden at Darjeeling houses as many as 2,500 orchids, which include 50 rare varieties. Most of these have been brought here from Singalila National Park.

Thick bamboo, oak, magnolia and rhododendron forest between 2000 and 3600 m cover the Singalila Ridge. There are two seasons of wildflower bloom one in spring (March and April) when the rhododendrons bloom, and another in the post monsoon season (around October), when the lower forests bloom (Primula, Geranium, Saxifraga, Bistort, Senecio, Cotoneaster and numerous orchids). Sandakphu is known as the "mountain of poisonous plants" due to the large concentration of Himalayan cobra lilies (Arisaema) which grow there. The plant life has been surveyed in 2001. The orchidarium of Lloyd Botanical Garden at Darjeeling houses as many as 2,500 orchids, which include 50 rare varieties. Most of these have been brought here from Singalila National Park.

Фауна
Сүтқоректілер: Паркте қызыл панда, барс мысық, лақтырған бұғы, сары кеуделі мартен, жабайы шошқа, панголин және пика сияқты көптеген кіші сүтқоректілер мекендейді. Ірі сүтқоректілерге Гималай қара аюы, барс, бұлтты барс, серу және такин жатады. Жолбарыстар кейде бұл аймаққа келіп түседі, бірақ олардың осы орманды мекендеуіне жеткілікті түрлердің қоректік базасы жоқ. Құстар: Парк – құс қадағалаушылар үшін құнарлы жер, онда 120-дан астам түр тіркелген, оның ішінде Гималай бүркіті, қызыл минивет, калийж фазан, қан фазан, сатир трагопаны, қоңыр және түсті тоғайлар, қызыл кентіт және отты құйрықты мизорнис, алтын кеуделі фулветта сияқты Ескі әлемнің сүрегейлерінен сирек және экзотикалық түрлер көптеп кездеседі. Парк сонымен қатар көптеген көшпенді құстардың ұшу жолында орналасқан. Жыртқыштар мен қосмекенділер: Гималай тритонының популяциясы төмендеп бара жатыр және олар Жоре-Похри, Сухия-Похри және жақын жердегі көлдердің маңына жиналып көбейеді. Жоре-Похри және Сухия-Похри парктің шекарасынан 20 км қашықтықта орналасқан және қорғалатын жабайы табиғат қорықтары болып табылады.
Mammals: The park has a number of small mammals including the red panda, leopard cat, barking deer, yellow throated marten, wild boar, pangolin and pika. Larger mammals include the Himalayan black bear, leopard, clouded leopard, serow and takin. Tigers occasionally wander into the area, but do not have a large enough prey base to make residence in these forests feasible. Birds: The park is a birder's delight with over 120 species recorded including many rare and exotic species like the Himalayan Vulture, scarlet minivet, kalij pheasant, blood pheasant, satyr tragopan, brown and fulvous parrotbills, rufous vented tit, and Old World babblers like the fire tailed myzornis and the golden breasted fulvetta. The park is also on the flyway of many migratory birds. Reptiles and amphibians: The endangered Himalayan newt frequents the region and congregates around the lakes of Jore Pokhri and Sukhiapokhri and nearby lakes to reproduce. Jore Pokhri and Sukhiapokhri are within 20 km of the park boundary and are protected wildlife sanctuaries.
Қорғау мәселелері
Парктегі басты мәселелер – саяхатшылардың жолдарындағы қоқыстарды жинау және саяхатшылардың флораға ең аз зиян келтіруін қамтамасыз ету, себебі мұндай биіктіктегі флора өте баяу өседі. Көрші ауылдардан жайылымға мал (яқ және сиыр) шығару да проблема тудыруы мүмкін. Орман өрттері, әсіресе көктемде, қысқы кезеңде жиналған құрғақ бұталар мен жапырақтар қауіпті болуы мүмкін болғандықтан, парк үшін қауіп төндіреді. 2006 жылдың 6 наурызында парк орман өртінен зардап шекті. Ұлттық паркте қызыл панданың саны бар болғаны 42 (2019 жылы) болса да, «Қызыл панда жобасы» (Орталық зоопарк басқармасының қаржыландыруымен) Дарджилингтегі Падмаджа Найду Гималай зоологиялық паркіндегі тұқымдық өсіру бағдарламасынан қызыл пандаларды қайта қоныстандыру үшін Сингалила ұлттық паркін таңдады, бұл негізінен географиялық жақындықпен байланысты. Екі аналық – Суити мен Милли 2004 жылдың қараша айында босатылды. Милли барс шабуылынан қаза тапты, бірақ Суити жабайы табиғатқа бейімделіп, қызыл панданың алғашқы сәтті қайта оралған баласын дүниеге әкелді. Бұл оқиғаны белгілі үнді режиссерлері Раджеш Беди мен Нареш Беди түсірді. «Тұманның періштесі» деп аталған деректі фильм Монтанада өткен 29-шы Халықаралық жабайы табиғат кинофестивалінде «Ең үздік табиғатты қорғау және қоршаған орта туралы фильм» номинациясында жеңіске жетті.
The major issues at the park are trash collection on trekking routes and ensuring minimal damage of flora by trekkers, as flora at such high elevations tend to grow really slowly. Grazing of yak and cattle from neighbouring villages can also be a problem. Forest fires can be a threat to the park, especially in spring when the accumulated debris from winter can be a hazard. A forest fire swept through the park on 6 March 2006. Even though the national park has a resident red panda population of only about 42 (in 2019) members, Project Red Panda (funded by the Central Zoo Authority) chose Singalila National Park for reintroduction of red pandas from its captive breeding program at the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park in Darjeeling, mainly due to reasons of proximity. Two females, Sweety and Milli, were released in November 2004. Milli was killed by a leopard, but Sweety adapted to the wild and gave birth to an offspring the first such successful re entry for red panda. The reintroduction was filmed by noted Indian filmmakers Rajesh Bedi and Naresh Bedi. The documentary, named Cherub of the Mist, won the Best Conservation and Environmental Film at the 29th International Wildlife Film Festival in Montana.
Паркке арналған ақпарат
Бұл саябақ Шығыс Гималайдағы ең танымал отбасылық демалыс ордаларының бірі. Саябақты көктемде (наурыз-мамыр) және жаңбырдан кейін (қыркүйек айының ортасынан желтоқсанның басына дейін) баруға болады. Жаңбыр маусымына байланысты, саябақ әр жылдың 16 маусымынан 15 қыркүйегіне дейін туристерге жабық.
The park is one of the most popular family camping destinations in the Eastern Himalayas. The two seasons to visit the park are in spring (March–May) and post monsoon (mid September to early December). The park is closed to tourists from 16 June to 15 September every year on account of the monsoons.
Қонақ үй
Сайлунг шайханасы – Мегмада тоқтауға арналған шағын, жайлы орын. Дарджилинг Горха тау кеңесі басқаратын Тонглу, Гайрибанс, Сандакфху, Фалут, Кала Похри және парктегі басқа да көптеген жерлерде екі бөлмелі қонақ үйлер мен саяхатшыларға арналған жатақханалар бар. Манебханжанда көптеген қонақ үйлер мен тұруға жайлы орындар ұсынылады. Паркті аралаудың ең қолайлы жолы – Дарджилиңде тұрып, ұлттық парктің ішінде кемпинг жасау.
Sailung Tea House is a small cozy place to stay while at Meghma. There are two roomed guest houses and trekkers' huts at Tonglu, Gairibans, Sandakphu, Phalut, Kala Pokhri and several other locations in the park, run by the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council. Numerous guest houses and lodging are available at Manebhanjan. The preferred way to visit the park is to stay in Darjeeling and camp inside the national park.
