Buddhist monastery, British Colonial building to Hanuman Mandir all in Kaleidoscopic Kalimpong. Enjoy the place staying in the wooden duplex cottage.

Every nook and corner of our country paints a colorful picture of diversity in its own style. So does Kalimpong! History says Kalimpong was originally inhabited by Lepchas, Bhutias, and Limbus. Later it was ruled by Sikkimese, Bhutanese, and British rulers. The place started to grow only after it was put under the Darjeeling district. The main importance of Kalimpong then was its nearness to Jelepla Pass from where Central Tibet was easily accessible. Recently in 2017, the hill station was made a separate district because of its growing popularity and political claim. So this rapid flashback is stated just to give you a glimpse of how vibrant is the color of the culture of this place. But the actual reason for your visit will be the unique natural beauty of the place.

Duplex cottages have accommodation for 4 people. YOu will find the cottages well equipped with Facilities like electric kettles, geyser bean bags, etc. An attractive attic room with a balcony overlooking the Himalayas is the most refreshing part of our homestay.
