This peaceful prayer hall has a combination of the views of the serene and winding Teesta along with gorgeous Kanchenjunga ranges. Pine View Nursery is unique of its kind that seldom meets your eyes. It houses an extraordinary collection of cacti and succulents and these unique species are arranged in a greenhouse setting. The nursery will amaze all plant lovers and photography enthusiasts, and the oldest ones can be traced to be about 75 years old. The entry fees are nominal and you can grab some tasty snacks and drinks inside the facility in a beautiful mountain setting. Afterwards come back to the hotel and enjoy a peaceful evening with views of the Himalayas. Dr. Graham’s Home will interest historians more than ordinary tourists. It was founded in 1900 by Reverend Dr. John Anderson Graham and this sprawling educational complex was aimed at offering care and schooling for the underprivileged Anglo-Indian children. It has a feel both nostalgia and inspiration. Mangal Dham Temple is the seat of peace, devotion, and spiritual grace and is a revered sightseeing spot of Kalimpong. Overnight stay at Kalimpong.
After breakfast, transfer to NJP Railway Station / Bagdogra Airport for your onward journey with sweet memories of Sikkim and Kalimpong.
