August 18, 2022 Kelli Reichel

Kalimpong is a bustling bazaar town set among the rolling foothills and deep valleys of the Himalayas. Kalimpong has become an important tourist destination owing to its temperate climate and proximity to popular tourist locations in the region. It is famous for its flower market, especially the wide array of orchids. Other attractions include Buddhist monasteries including the Zang Dhok Palri Phodang - known for its rare Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, churches, an excellent private library for the study of Tibetan and Himalayan language and culture. Kalimpong is home to Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje - 17th Karmapa. Kalimpong is also known for its traditional handicrafts.Although not many travellers bother to visit Kalimpong, there's enough here to keep you occupied for a couple of days, and for the energetic there's some good trekking and river-rafting in the river Teesta.

The Elgin Silver Oaks, Kalimpong

The Elgin Silver Oaks was built in 1930 and once belonged to the prominent architect Frederick Desraj who built the old Teesta Bridge. It is now converted into a luxury hill resort in the Himalayas. Lounging in the landscaped gardens in a profusion of colour, one is treated to breathtaking views of the Himalayas. The natural decor is characteristic in the imposing Kanchenjungha which can be seen on a clear day, blooming petunias and asters, the serrated violet edges of iris, iridescent butterflies flitting through colourful azaleas, drooping geraniums, proud orchids and heaven, temporarily descends on earth. Sitting in one of the quaint gazebos, the tea seems to be flavoured by the refreshing winds of the Himalayas.

Very poor

Very bad and deplorable condition. I think the management is not accepting this fact. However as a traveller disappointed and not going to sugar coat my opinion. Never going to refer or. Recommend to others . Other smaller lodgings are far better

The Gingko Eyrie

Nothing compares to the hospitality of the family.

Reviewed By Jagpreetsingh_jd

Ours was a family trip, twelve of us, including eight children aged between 11 and 21. We took the entire house comprising of 6 rooms, the 2 kings suits were massive in size and very beautiful, the 2 cozy attic rooms had a wonderful wooden interior. The lawn is spacious and we spent evenings playing and singing amidst nature. Dispite the beauty of the place, nothing compares to the hospitality of the family. Mary and her parents are wonderful people to spend time with. The entire staff is polite and helpful too. The cook suddenly got sick and the lady of the house cooked us dinner, breakfast, and lunch to carry along. Jagpreet Singh Agra

Luxurious Stay

Reviewed By Sandy_JSR

Recently stayed for 3 nights. The hotel is situated at a walkable distance from Kalimpong market. The hotel is pretty spread-out, the entire property i.e., lobby, room, restaurant, lawn, banquet hall etc. were wonderfully maintained with eye catching décor and artifacts. My room was located at one floor down to lobby level. The room was very spacious with 2 queen beds, which can easily accommodate 4 pax, and was fitted with all necessary comforts and amenities. The washroom was equally spacious and provided with shower, bathtub, 24 hours running hot water etc., all necessary toiletries were also provided. The room had a balcony with beautiful mountain view, however due to cloud, the mountain view was somewhat prevented. The staffs were courteous and responsive. The lawn in front of restaurant had the most beautiful mountain view, a favorite place for photo ops. Overall a luxurious and comfortable stay, highly recommended.

Sterling Park Kalimpong

This 100+ yr-old quaint summer residence once housed the royalty of Dinajpur. In the 1960s the residence was bought by Mr. G.P Yonzone, a local businessman, for his beloved wife Smt. Devi Maya, a popular Nepali writer and scholar settled in Kalimpong. Later, redesigned as Kalimpong Park Hotel, the residence became a landmark destination in itself and attracted interest from travelers for its vintage charm and heritage, and was an ideal stop-over for a holiday in Kalimpong. Today, as Sterling Park Kalimpong, the resort retains all its charm and heritage, and with the hallmark Sterling service. Nestled on a hilltop, one kilometer from the main town, the resort offers 270-degree mesmerizing views of Himalayan peaks like Pandim, Narsingh, Sinilochu along with the breathtaking views of the mighty Kanchenjunga and beckons all kinds of travelers on a circuit between Darjeeling and Gangtok.

Reviewed By iqbalasif

Good clean hotel with cordial staff. View from some rooms are breathtaking. Hotel staff is extremely polite and helpful. My kid fell sick in the middle of the night and they arranged to take her to the main hospital. I will forever be thankful for this. Also during the entire stay they cooked separate meal for my baby. The locality is clean and scenic. The food is tasty. Overall it's a very good hotel to spend time with family.
