Kalimpong

and Gangtok The road is one of the
most scenic routes in this part of
the nation. The swift flowing Teesta
river runs by the side of the road
adding to the beauty of the scenery.
The name, Kalimpong, has three different
origins. One, it means the place where
the local tribesmen gathered to organize
field sports, second, it takes it’s
name from the Bhutanese king’s
minister’s stronghold and |

sthirdly,
it is named after Kaulim, a fibrous plant found
in abundance in this region. Kalimpong has several
monasteries and also a Kali temple. The Tibetan
Monastery and curio center and Dr Graham's home

Lava is also known for its leaches. During the
