KALIMPONG
Kalimpong, known for its scenic beauty and as a popular tourist destination today, was once a bustling hub on the historic Silk Route, connecting Tibet, Bhutan, and India. Its rich history includes Rabindranath Tagore composing one of his last poems at Gauripur House, Helena Roerich’s retirement at Crookety House. Kalimpong also has ties to Burma's Royal Family and hosted a Chinese trade agency, even becoming a meeting place for the Dalai Lama. Once dubbed a "nest of spies", its unique history makes Kalimpong a truly special place to explore.
