| Kalimpong as seen from Sindebong |
In the previous blog I just gave you a hint about this
amazing place of Kalimpong and I have had many complaining that it was too
short and ended abruptly. Well the intention was to create more curiosity about
this awesome travel destination that is one of its kind. Thanks to all who
follow Escape Enchanted.

How to reach Kalimpong? The only way one can reach Kalimpong
is by road as the closest airport is approximately 78 km away at Bagdogra and
the railway station is New Jalpiguri approximately 71 km away. From both the
airport and the railway station one would have to travel either by hired cab or
shared jeep (suv) or bus, shared jeeps or bus is available from Siliguri (approx.
66 km). Another option or rather for the people who do come for the regular
visit and happen to hit Darjeeling first it is again a road trip of approx. 49
km.

The Journey! The journey to Kalimpong is a fascinating one no
matter where you travelling from be it the airport or the railway station, as
all travel is over NH31 thru Sevoke, Kalijhora and Teesta Bazar. If one is
coming from Darjeeling it is thru Ghoom, Jorebungalow, Tukdah, Peshok and
Teesta Bazar. Both are scenic and a treat in itself unless you travelling with many
of the wannabes Schumacher. Here I would want to recommend to travel by bus not
only for speed reason but you would be on a higher platform to enjoy the beauty
of the journey more.
Once in Kalimpong the best thing to do is to
just relax and enjoy the different cuisines that’s available be it from a
street side vendor or the different restaurants, all of them are safe. Another
most important thing to do is just galavant around aimlessly as in a day or two
you would certainly be enjoying all of it immensely.
