Abstract
Geographically, the Kalimpong District in Darjeeling Himalaya is that pocket that exists in vicinity of Nepal, Darjeeling, Bhutan and its foothill Duars, Sikkim and transnational Teesta River. A mountain environment has some unique characteristics, as it constitutes high and sloping lands, low laying valleys, forests and vegetations of various types as well as riverbeds and meadows. The altitudinal range of this hilly region varies from 130 to 3000 m. Due to their great variation, a wide array of climatic zones are available, which favor the luxuriant growth of diversified and rich vegetation. These unique features of mountain environments tend to be quite sensitive to disturbance and disruption by external factors. With ever-growing population, human interference have increased to such a level that it has adversely altered the integrity and balance of the natural system.
