About Kurseong Tourism

The tiny hill station of Kurseong is in the beautiful Himalayan valleys of West Bengal. Located at an altitude of 1,458 m, the secluded town is 50 Km from Siliguri and 30 Km from Darjeeling. The terraced tea gardens, orchid nurseries, and verdant hill slopes are best explored either on foot or by the Toy Train which runs from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling. Kurseong derives its name from the Nepali word, Kharshang which means dawn's pole star. Kurseong was transferred to the British in 1835 by the King of Sikkim. The town gained importance only after 1880 although Darjeeling took away the larger share of tourism. It is home to some reputed schools such as Goethals, Victoria and Dow Hill. Kurseong is a nature lover's paradise and offers some interesting treks. Sightseeing Highlights: Eagle's Crag is a kilometer away uphill from the railway station. There is a tourist complex with a garden at the top which offers breathtaking views of Teesta River, Jannu and Kabru peaks and the emerald green forests of Darjeeling valley. Netaji Kothi or the summer home of Netaji Subhash Bose is housed on Eagle's Crag in an almost ruined condition. Read More >>
