Kalimpong
This is a beautiful hill town in North Bengal, which can be reached from either Siliguri or Darjeeling. KALIMPONG - means king"s ministers strong hold - a Bhutanese word. It is also called Kalimpong in local dialect meaning "black spur". As per 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.

Kalimpong"s attractions include three Buddhist monastries, orchid nurseries, a sericulture centre and Dr. Graham"s Home, a large sprawling school set up in 1900 for educating the children of tea workers.
