We all have heard this name, “Kalimpong”. It is a beautiful hill town near the West Bengal Sikkim border. It is one of the most popular Hill towns in West Bengal. Although the proper Kalimpong town is extremely popular among tourists, the exotic nukes and corners of this vast area remain largely unexplored. We know most of you don’t like the crowds and are looking for a quaint little place where you can get some relief from the cacophony.
