Situated at an altitude of 1300 metres, Kalimpong is a beautiful place to visit and get away from the touristy Darjeeling and rather enjoy the slow travel that it brings to us. With the snow peaks of the eastern Himalayas, topped by Mt Kanchenjunga, etching its skyline, Kalimpong sits easy between two hills, Durpin and Deolo.
