Nestled in the Himalayan foothills, Kalimpong’s history is as rich and layered as its landscapes. Once a quiet Lepcha village, the town became a cultural melting pot under Sikkimese, Bhutanese, and British influence. During colonial times, it flourished as a vital trade route to Tibet, shaping its cosmopolitan identity. From ancient monasteries and British-era schools to its vibrant local festivals, Kalimpong’s story continues to unfold — timeless, rooted, and beautifully unique.
