Kalimpong

Kalimpong, situated at a height of 1250 m. was once the starting point for the land route to Tibet. Twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday, a market, a haat, is still held here selling spices, fruit and traditional Tibetan medicines, textiles, wool and musk. It is renowned for its Yellow Hat Buddhist monasteries.

Nestling in the lush green mid ranges of the Himalayas, this hill station of "the Raj", has an incredible stunning backdrop of towering snow capped peaks. This exotic town of beautiful people, mystical and enchanting, with a rare ethnic blend of hill people, has a tradition of hospitality from the days of the mule caravans of olde.

The picture post card countryside around Kalimpong has a vast range of forests around Lava and Loleygaon, the wild and protected Neora National Park reaching up to the 3,152 metre high Rachela trijunction between Bhutan, Sikkim and West Bengal. The meandering river valleys of Git, Rishi, Rilli and the mighty Teesta and the enchanting Samthar Plateau. All these are Nature's gifts to us, which make our region an all round holiday destination. Most visitors come for a few days, linger on, and come again to savour the many holiday options available.

A Kalimpong based holiday, with forays into the countryside offers a true "Town and Country" holiday, comprising Kalimpong town delights, relaxation, walking and trekking holidays, forest and flora exploration, bird and butterfly watching, Buddhist tours and meditation, River Rafting, Mountain Biking, and nature and Culture tours, or just a "relax and laze" holiday.
