Mangpoo is a village in the Kurseong under Darjeeling district. Mangpoo, a land steeped in history, is famed for its production of quinine, a life-saving elixir against malaria. While modern alchemy has diminished its demand, it remains a precious source of income.
The vast expanse around Mungpoo is adorned with cinchona plantations, a verdant tapestry from which quinine, extracted from dried bark, is harvested.
