On April 2016 as the four of our family were planning for a small trip for three to four days ; we headed to Kalimpong . If it is sounding like a very common place then let me inform you that I will say you about a place out of track this time. After driving almost two and half hour from NJP we reached Kalimpong town but did not stop there, we drove 1 km more till we reached Holumba Heaven, a stay for the nature and peace lovers with cottages.The place is away from the town located on the main highway and closest to nature. As we are a nature loving family this place was the best suited for us, away from the sounds and chaos of the town.It is a little expensive but the rooms are nice and really comfortable. We spend the day roaming on the hilly roads and enjoying the beauty. The weather was a little gloomy that day.
On the next day we went to Delo park 9 km away from Kalimpong , a perfect place to spend the day.The park is really enjoyable with eye catching green views.Here you can revel a horse-ride around the park. One more attraction of this place is , here you quench the thirst of adventure by paragliding. The cost of paragliding is RS 3000/- per head. If this talk about adventure excites you , I want to suggest that , go 15 km from Delo, to Chitra ,where there is a rafting spot on the Tista river. There we were taken to the bank of the river along with the rafting boat and two men to help us.The cost of the rafting was RS 1000/- per head.The reckless ride on the rash hilly river was really awesome.It was a thrilling and safe adventure.I bet this will give you a memorable experience of your life, so do not miss it.One can also have more side scenes in the Kalimpong town like the monastery, Kalimpong science centre, cactus nursery ,pine view nursery , temple etc.
We spent the last two days of our trip in Chibo, a village 15 km away from kalimpong.There is only one staying place , Chibo Inn. The rooms and the services here is really impressing . I really felt complete from mind when I reached there.It is a place surrounded by forest and foothills as beautiful as a living dream. It is a small hilly village. The narrow walking roads makes their ways through the green small forests. The sun set and the sun rise in this place gave me the glimpses of heaven.
Through out the trip we got the sky blue and clear, except the day we reached. We were quite pleased with the foods and services offered by the places where we stayed.
I suggest the best times to visit this places are March April.This time the weather remains really comfortable and clear most of the time. Make sure to have a pre-booking in the staying places while planning your trip. Three to four days are enough for this trip.These places will leave a indelible impression in your mind.
