Kalimpong
67 Km from Siliguri, this beautiful hill town in North Bengal which can be reached from either Siliguri or Darjeeling.
KALIMPONG – means king's minister's strong hold – a Bhutanese word.
It is also called Kalimpong in local dialect meaning "black spur". As per the Lepchas, Kalimpong means ‘ridge where we play'.
It is said that these local tribesmen used to organise field sports while not engaged in agricultural pursuit – hence the name.
