Kalimpong is a hilltop town located at the east of river Teesta. This sleepy little town is situated at an altitude of 1,200 mtrs, some 50 kms to the east of Darjeeling.

This place is an ideal location for the tourists looking for a comfortable stay sheltered from the harsh cold winds and with a picturesque view of the Kanchenjunga and other Himalayan snow peaks.
Kalimpong makes for one of the frontrunners in offering exciting adventure sports like hiking, trekking, paragliding, river rafting etc. Deolo Hills and Teesta River in Chitrey, Melli are ideal location for paragliding and river rafting respectively.
