Keep up the good work. I have subscribed to your feeds.

Thanks SO much to this creators of this website. I was born in Kalimpong, studied in St Joseph’s and spent some of the happiest days of my life in Kalimpong.
. Send me an email at enquiry@desiVastra.com.
It’s been years since I went to Kalimpong or even saw pictures of Kalimpong. So today when my nephew sent me this link, I could’ve hugged him! I almost cried looking at the pictures, reading info/messages (some of the names on which I recognize).
I want my son to know about my birthplace, my childhood – thanks for giving me the tools to do so. Now I can show him these pictures! And hopefully get in touch with some of my friends (If Mike Wong is reading this, are you Sharon’s brother?).
Lastly, if you need any help/have troubles with this website, maybe I could help – I’m in IT too
Cheers

God Bless Kalimpong and blessed are those who are living there in perfect Harmony and still breathing fresh air and if I am not wrong still eating those organic food (?)straight from tiny backyard field… and blessed are those whoever created this website for bringing folks from different walks of life and the folks who are residing abroad, once again, so close to Kalimpong so close to our motherland and so close to that magnificient sleepy town on the ridge..
Somebody (Libbie Fudim)said it right: “Recall it as often as you wish, a happy memory never wears out.”

Hi San,
I dunno where are you,but probably you know the yearlong centenary celebrations in the yr 1986! All big bosses on grey suits with “Nec Tamen Consumabatur” mono, hurriedly participating in each and every events with precision!Do you remember Tears flowing down our eyes when the flag was being rolled out for another 100 years, we all imagined how lives would be by the year 2086!!! It means a lot when we are working on oil rigs off qatari coast only hammering & drilling sounds accompany you.THese memories really revitalize the nerves to live one more tommorrow.I feel proud to be an exsumian amongst Danish/British/American citizen on a drilling rig called “chuc syning”.
LONG LIVE SUMIANS!!!!!!

Sun 27 July 1986 massacre at Kalimpong happened due to the instigation by Subash Gheising who was staying comfortably in Darjeeling and even now. The government of India hushed up and corrupted Subash Gheising to deceive the straightforward people of Kalimpong. I appeal to respected Bimal Gurung and all my beloved Kalimpong folks that the best way for progress of Kalimpong is to merge with the State of Sikkim. Let Subash Gheising and Darjeeling keep playing around . For Kalimpong the best policy will be to stay away from Gheising’s nonsense.

After living in America for almost 20 years, I have been yearning to return to India and live a quite life, in a peaceful and pollution free corner, in harmonious integration with the local community. Kalimpong has come to my mind quite often…I have visited the area a couple of times in the early 70s. Then it was a paradise on earth for me. People were simple, there was no crime and the political turmoil’s of West Bengal hardly reached the distant hills. I am curious to know if it is the same paradise now ! Tell me how far insulated Kalimpong is now from mainstream corruption, crime, and parochialism that have characterised my old home country, India. I will be glad to be on your email list.
Great Blog !! Congratulations and keep it up !
December 9th, 2007 at 9:45 pm MST
dear anand
i am happy that you still maintain such idealistic notions about kalimpong. however kalimpong today is a far cry from that idyllic place that you imagined it to be in the 70s. it is not a paradise by any stretch of imagination. i would therefore like to give you a brief reality check.
as in the 70s the majority of the people are still poor, under educated and lacking in any meaningful employment. unlike the 70s however these unfortunates are not concealed in the background of the pristine natural beauty but out in the open as vocal but misled members of various political groups with a wide ranging set of political and social aspirations. the weather is still fine though we are not untouched by the unpredictability in rain fall patterns etc cause probably by issues such as global warning. this monsoon for example was a season of terrible misfortunes. there were major landslides that took lives. rehabilitation has been slow and there is no valid reason to expect that the next years monsoons will be any different. the roads are bad but that does not seem to deter people from buying vehicles. so if you come to kalimpong at the moment you may be shocked by the sheer number of cars that choke its lacerated roads. the kanchenjunga , if it’s view is not blocked by the mobile phone hoardings, has lost a lot of snow and it is possible for a discerning looker to see its mass of exposed rock where the ice has melted.
like other parts of the world, media has made great inroads into the lives and imagination of the kalimpong folks. internet connectivity is good. cable television serves dollops of america and the west. internet pornography amongst the youth is endemic. gaming is everywhere. crime too has risen as the society has become more aspirational.
this by the way is not meant to be a long litany of complaints. but if you had the notions of just falling off the map and starting life anew in sylvan surroundings peopled by charming, innocent people ignorant to the guiles and wiles of the modern world you will be in for a major surprise.
but if you lower your expectation by a few notches then kalimpong still is the place to be.

Hi!
I have lived 40 years in US and now into retirement. I am thinking of Kalimpong as a good retirement place. I am really attracted to the weather and the flowers. However, I have no idea of cost of living. I would like to rent a 3 bedroom house/bungalow with a little garden. My hobby is growing plants. Could anyone help me with the cost of such rental, are they readily available and how difficult is to get a High Speed Broadband connection? I do a lot of work over the net and therefore speed is important to me.
Cheers
January 9th, 2008 at 11:31 pm MST
Does Kalimpong have any registered Home Builders (assuming that builders there need to have a registered building licence.) I am keen to have built a 2 bedroom cottage, and not sure what building materials are readily available in Kalimpong, or whether they need to be got from Siliguri. If someone could provide me with email addresses of some good reputable builders, it would be much appreciated.
January 10th, 2008 at 2:47 am MST
hi there mr chatterjee,
there are many houses on rent in kalimpong but it is maint built to house outstation students who come here to study. Atisha Road ,8th mile would be a wonderful place to live in and there are a few houses available on rent. broadband service is available but frequently gets disrupted during the monsoons due to land slides. the cost of rent deends from house owner to house owner it would generally come to rs 3000 to 6000 depending on the size of the house

Great site, beautiful shots. It helps me to keep in touch with what is going on in my home town which I left in 1959!!! I went to DGH and ISc from NP
Kalimpong has changed over the years, mostly for the better. I still love my visits there, and I and my family do go quite often from NY. I think the view of the Himalayas from DGH early mornings as tthe early morning rays set it alight, is the most beautiful site I have ever witnessed. I am inclose touch with my relatives and friends there. Glad the people have united for a Gorkhaland and hope we will be successful this time. Email me at khemfatimi@gmail.com if anyone remembers me, and would like to keep in touch. Khem Pradhan Fatimi

Prabin Moktan’s reality check scored a direct hit on those dreaming of the past. The article needed a title. How about,’The end of innocence?’ ‘The demise of paradise?’ ‘The seduction of Shangrila?’ I prefer calling it the ‘Hotel California Syndrome’ you know the famous line -’you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave…’ read the responses on this site – allo dum, thukpa, air conditioned space, simple people, garden bunglow, mountains, blue sky, organic food, the old school yard. Few adults ever ruminate of their past like we kalimpongians do and the DGH OGBs? We are living Wu li masters that can warp time and space. Listen to us talk of the 70s. Like it happened yesterday! In some countries we could be put away with like minded people in special places called asylums. Wouldn’t my family and the dogs love it? Never again to hear about a town that meant so much to so few?
I moved to New Zealand. The next best thing to Kpong. It is easy to pretend it is Kpong. The cool weather, the morning mist, the hills and the mountains, the cerulean blue sky, the long white cloud, magnolia, rodedendron, the Maori,(look like our tribals), the sparkling streams, the Scots as in the Homes. I wake up every morning with a strange sense of dejavu, of having been here before. Steaming tea in my chipped Chinese enamel mug that sears my lips, I look up and salute the gods for they know us as the people of kalimpong who said, “heaven can wait.”

We are looking at long term renting 2 – 3 years and would be willing to pay a good rent depending on the property, we have no children and semi-retired but the property should have a drive in so that we can park our vehicle in the property.
Please do get back to me ASAP.

When eva i come to this site it makes me feel very nostalgic and miss everything about these beautiful place on earth.I guess we are lucky enough to born in a place so serene and calm ,just a perfect place to be.Well i am in Bangalore working with HP and i haven’t been home for 3 years now but all it takes is a glance of this website and i again feel happy and mellow after reading or having a look at the images that u guys post.All in all a very good job and i really appreciate the people who are behind this and makes us experience that we are not far away from home.

Hai
Nice to see the photos and essantial information of “Hamro Kalimpong” in website.It is indeed an appreciable work done by ……….??????(Sorry Mate, i don’t know the name of the genius person who made this site,however “Hats off to you”Bravo……)…
Kalimpong has always been close to my heart and mind and if there is anyone else whom i love and respect most next to God and my Family(Appa,Ama,Reetu,Aanchal and Buwa ani Ama) would be “Mero Kalimpong…Mayo ko Phulbari )…I wish to settle down in my home town but it’s an open secret that it is very hard to manage both end meets in home town (Hill area)due to lack of job oppertunities as result of which not only me but thousand and lakhs of educated,efficient people have been working outside the home town…I would like to request to our respected/honourable political leaders to kindly do something to young educated people….. What about the upcomming generation who r in nursery and appearing school final? Any guess….Have you ever been to Delhi,Kolkatta,Bangalore?…………just go and see….people have been working in hotels,bar and BPO(Call centre)….Is this what our degree and diplomas for?our forefather served and saved the nation by blood and sweat…..now we are serving the private companies by working 24 hrs(Chowkidar,call centre executive and cab driver and sales executive)Is this what our forefathers dreamt off and sacrificed their lives for the nation? Plez do something for young educated people or else the day wil come when there will be no “Young people” in home town……..It’s a truth and truth never die…..Let’s save young educated people 4rm frustration ……Ajay Rai

A man understands the true value of a possession only after losing it. I have the same nostalgic feelings about Kalimpong day in and day out. I was born and bred in kalimpong and really treasure the days i spent there. I currently live in hawaii which is fondly called the “Paradise on Earth”, but for me the only paradise I have ever known in Kalimpong.It was wonderful to come across this site quite by serendipity. It gives all of us a platform to connect and rejoice the splendor called KALIMPONG. MAhalo to the webhost.

Hello Friends,
Let us keep on praying for the successful tri-partite talks on the 21st December 2009. Hope, this day we will hear the very good news regarding the creation of the GORKHALAND state.
Friends, we are thankful to God for allowing the Hamro Sankalpa, quarterly Nepali Christian Digest, to enter into 8th year of its publication. Dear MVC members, please join us in Phidim of Panchthar during 6-8 February 2010.
I wish all the readers a very meaningful Christmas, on which day, the Lord Jesus Christ was born to be our Savior for all, not only the Christians, but really for all.
Wish you all a very blessed Happy Near Year 2010.
With much love: DR. PAUL SUBBA

I loved my school life in DGH Kalimpong. My dad Mr Pratt was the Senior English and Literature teacher and my mum taught the kids in special school. I was from the batch of 1973 and still keep in touch with a lot of my school friends. We are making a trip to Kalimpong this September and can’t wait to catch up with everyone. Sadly dad passed away some 17 years ago and Mum just passed on the 12 February 2010.
