Canvas of Kalimpong to Darjeeling: A Friendly Guide
Hey there, traveler! If you’re planning to hop between the hill-station siblings Kalimpong and Darjeeling, you’re in for a dreamy ride. I’m here to lay it all out for you—like a friend who’s already been there, soaked in the mist, sipped the chai, and knows exactly what you’d want to know.
Darjeeling to Kalimpong Distance: Let’s start with the basics: the distance from Darjeeling to Kalimpong is about 50 to 55 kilometers, depending on the route you take. Sounds short, right? But don’t be fooled—this is the Himalayas. The roads are winding, the pace is slow, and the views? Oh, absolutely worth every curve.
Expect the journey to take about 2.5 to 3.5 hours by car or taxi. And if you’re prone to motion sickness, pack a remedy—the zigzags are real.
