Kurseong

The southern terminus of the charming toy train of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, Kurseong attracts its fair share of travellers each year. 35 kilometres south of the queen of the hills—Darjeeling—Kurseong is surrounded by tea gardens including Castleton, Makaibari, Ambotia and Goomtee, which are also home to many decently-priced bed-and-breakfast lodgings. Set at 4864 feet above the sea level, the town offers splendid views of the Teesta Valley and the surrounding Himalayan ranges. Experience the picturesque sunset views at the Eagle’s Craig and peek into the wildlife at the deer park (also known as DowHill Park).
