A Day with Friends in Kurseong

Kurseong is a city and a municipality in Darjeeling district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is the headquarters of the Kurseong subdivision. Located at an altitude of 1,482.55 metres, Kurseong is 32 kilometres from Darjeeling and has a pleasant climate throughout the year.

I visited Kurseong with my friends on Apr 2019. Our Journey started from Siliguri. If you coming from outside West Bengal, you have to pass through Siliguri to go to Kurseong. Nearest Airport is Bagdogra Airport and NJP is the nearest railway station.

We booked a cab from Siliguri. It took around 3 hours to reach Kurseong from Siliguri.

Before entering the town we stopped at the view Point. You can get an awesome view of the valley from there.

Then we visited the Dowhill School. Some horror stories are there about the school. The road behind the school is really scary. 😱

Kurseong is also famous for Orchids. Varieties of Orchids you can found here.

There is another view point near the Orchid garden where you can find nice views and a scary pine forest.

Also there is a deer park near to the orchid garden.

That was a nice tour with friends. If you visit Darjeeling or North Bengal you can visit Kurseong.
