Chapramari is essentially an extension of Gorumara National Park - the two are actually divided by the Murti River. In fact Chapramari is bounded on its west by Murti River and on its east side by Jaldhaka River. Although this is a relatively small forest (about 10 square kms in area), it's one of the oldest in Dooars. In 1895 it was first recognized as a forest reserve due to its diversity in flora & fauna. Subsequently in 1998 it became a wildlife sanctuary. The name Chapramari originated from a type of fish known as 'Chapra' that are found in abundance here ('mari'). The sanctuary is closed in the monsoon months.

Jaldapara National Park is situated at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas in Alipurduar District of northern West Bengal and on the banks of the Torsa River. Jaldapara is situated at an altitude of 61 m and is spread across 216.51 km2 of vast grassland with patches of riverine forests.
