No visit to Kalimpong would be
complete without a visit to the famous Durpin Dara. 5 km to the southwest of
town looms the Durpin Dara Hill, which is the highest point of the region. It
was once a survey point, and hence the name which means Binocular Ridge. Towering
over the town at an altitude of 1402 m the observation point offers you a
breathtaking view of the Himalayan ranges and its valleys alongwith the rivers
that crisscross the plains.
As you stand on this lofty point
and swivel on your feet, you will get a panoramic view of the whole Chola Range
of Sikkim including the Jelep La Pass. The Kanchenjunga Range
can be seen on the northwest horizon while on the Southern side looms the Tiger
Hill.
Far below, the rivers Relli and
Ryang rush to meet the mighty Teesta near the Rambhi bazaar area. You will also
get a bird s eye view of the beautiful Teesta and Rangeet rivers, the rolling
Peshoke and Lopchu tea estates, the Nathu-la pass as well as the hill towns of
Siliguri and Kurseong.
The invigorating air and the
breathtaking view that surrounds you is sure to be a once in a lifetime
experience.
