This peaceful city of flower once overshadowed by Darjeeling is now one of the most desired destinations in Eastern Himalayas for nature lovers, holiday tourists or the people who want to enjoy a peaceful holiday.

Once the headquarters of  Bhutanese Governor, it was a bustling town situated on the main trade route between India and Tibet. The word “ Kalim” means King’s Minister and “Pong” stands for “ The stronghold of the King’s Minister”. It is also called “ Kalimbong” or the black spur by the hill people. Kalimpong was conquered by Bhutan in 1706 from Sikkim. And after Anglo-Bhutan war in 1865 the British Government took control over it.

Kalimpong is enriched with Alpine Forests, numerous species of   Flowering Plants and Orchids. Number of  flower nurseries are present in this town producing flower & orchids for export and domestic markets.

The dense forest of golden oaks, vast rolling meadows with a riot of colours by wild flowers, presence of mighty Kanchenjunga on the backdrop and the view of river Teesta flowing down from the Sikkim hill are enthralling.
