Kalimpong, just 52 km away from Darjeeling, is an ideal health resort with fir trees and cradled between the heights of Dedo and Durbindra Hills. Situated at an altitude of 1,250 meters, Kalimpong is the home of beautiful flower nurseries, monasteries, and the handicrafts industry. Dr Graham's Homes, the Raja Dorjee Haat (Market), Pine View Nursery, Swiss Dairy, View Point (the point of the confluence of the Rangeet and Teesta Rivers), and Gouripur Bhawan (Rabindranath Tagore's house) are some of the important and interesting places to visit in Kalimpong. |
