The Jaldhaka River valley is undoubtedly a hidden treasure..The Jaldhaka river flows between India and Bhutan and visiting this place was an amazing experience.The greenery was captivating and the chirping of the innumerable birds made me feel the futility of the city life that we crave for.With no mobile network Jaldhaka river valley is the best place to unwind!!

A very beautiful hilltop view point in Kalimpong. Since we went in monsoon it was entirely covered with fog and mist. It felt wonderful though, as if we were walking amid the clouds. There is a beautiful park with playground for kids, horse riding, and a couple of view points from where you can look over Teesta river and enjoy the serenity. There is a guesthouse here as well which can be booked through WBTDC website.
