Monsoon Ideas
A small town lying in the foothills of the Himalayas, Kalimpong has a magical charm. A journey to the place is an amazing experience as you traverse thorough some of the most scenic routes in the country. The majestically flowing River Teesta along the roadside is particularly enthralling. Abounding in natural beauty, the town is home to lovely gardens and gives panoramic views of the mighty Himalayas. Visit the place during the rainy season to witness its natural beauty at its fullest. But, do gear yourself against the rains so that downpours do not stop you from enjoying the beauty.
