The sights of Kalimpong like the Delo House is a must see. Its a true walk in the clouds. This is a plateau surrounded by
mountains and is the only place where you get a 360 view of the mountains and rivers in the valley!
Kalimpong is located on a ridge connecting two hills, Delo and Durpin Hill, at an elevation of 1,247 m (4,091 ft). Delo,
the highest point in Kalimpong, has an altitude of 1,704 m (5,590 ft) and Durpin is at an elevation of 1,372 m (4,501 ft).
The River Teesta flows in the valley below and separates Kalimpong from the state of Sikkim. The hills are nestled within higher
peaks and the snow-clad Himalayan ranges tower over the town in the distance. Mount Kanchenjunga at 8,591 m (28,185 ft) the world's
third tallest peak, alongwith some smaller peaks areclearly visible from Kalimpong.
