Cabs to Kalimpong

Kalimpong town sits on a ridge above the Teesta, about 2.5 to 3 hours from Siliguri by NH10 and Teesta Bazaar. Beyond it are the quieter hill villages — Lava, Loleygaon, Rishop, Pedong, Sillery Gaon, Icchey Gaon — where homestays replace hotels and the last stretch can be narrow.

Before you go

  • Village homestays often need an SUV for the last few kilometres; tell us the homestay name when booking.
  • If NH10 is closed by a landslide, the longer road via Gorubathan and Lava is the usual alternative.
  • Combine Kalimpong with Lava and Rishop, or with Pedong and the old Silk Route villages, as one multi-day trip.
