In 2022 Padmaja Naidu Zoological Park in Darjeeling got the award for the cleanest alpine zoo.

There are very few alpine zoos maintained in India. The alpine zoos are those zoological parks which are situated at a height of above 7000 feet. The Padmaja Naidu Zoo in Darjeeling for cleanliness won that award this year. Mostly there are alpine animals kept over there like black panther, takin, snow leopard, mountain wolf, to name a few. The Zoo is named after famous mountaineer Padmaja Naidu.
