About Kalimpong
This wiki article does a pretty good job of describing Kalimpong.
Since there has been so much written about Kalimpong online (not all of them very accurate unfortunately), I am simply going to add the better ones to the list of links.

Hi! I was glad that you have some good thing going here. The people of Darjeeling is looking for a voice and it is great that you have provided one. It is high time “We the People” must speak and we cannot allow our inept, greedy and manipulative, so called leaders, to decide what is good for us.
However, it would be even better if you allowed the people of Darjeeling district to speak on the issues by starting a discussion board and doing public polls online. It is high time a common platform must be provided to the people to rise against this tyranny of our leaders.
Believe it or not, this is tyranny when people is being robbed of their freedom in the name of an elusive thing called tribal status - it is nothing but another gimmick to gain political mileage for another five years.

It is a good site. Could you look at adding things like budget hotel details & tourist ofice details. It would help people like me from other part of the country to feel more at home knowing a bit before landing there.
May 18th, 2006 at 5:06 pm
wazz…… up kalimpong? Its great that you guys have created an awesome website . well it has been almost eight months em missing a heaven ( especially Momos and Thukpas.
May 28th, 2006 at 6:20 pm
These photographs bring out the tranquility,serenity,and the awesome natural beautythat god has provided mere mortals to feast there eyes on.It is power of nature that these pictures proposes to bring to the fore.Simply a Goregeous way of presenting such a beautiful remarkable and unforgattable place on earth.

gr8 job guys…………very informative & fantastic effort to keep the map of KPG alive & rocking on the web world….It brings back those memories down the years gone by for those away from the lovable HUG of KPG. Pls keep update on the recent events taking place in KPG.

Hi guys, studied for 5 years in St. Joseph’s, kalimpong (many years ago-1977 was my last year there!), and haven’t been able to make it back since. Would love to see pictures of my old school, and get some info about it. Namely, is the school song still, “Deep in the valley by a swift flowing river….”, sung to the tune of the scottish national anthem? Are there still two houses, Annes and Mariannes? Does the school still go to the parade ground on 15th of August? Do the girls still wear tams(light blue in colour)? I have very fond memories of walking to school every morning, passing the orphanage above it, also run by our nuns? Does it still exist? Does the school still own the amount of land it did at that time? Please could you publish some recent photographs so I can show the same to my daughter? I would be very grateful. Thanks a ton

Hi all,
I am very very excited to find this incredible website for Kalimpong. I was there for 5 years from 1985 to 89 ( from 2nd class to 6th class ). School was beside of GUMPHA GROUND. I am Hari Krishna. I really miss this place. I use to to stay above CHANDRA LOKE in army quarters. I have lots of local friends over there. I was first Indian when army school was open. Hi frieds can I have pics of army school? If any one is having pics of GUMPHA GROUND, places above CHANDRALOKH it will be nice…
Please do reply me…

Hi ya all, I am so glad that I definately found what I was looking for. I was searcing for kalimpong gallery on google, and exactly came up. It was very impressive and reliable website.Well I used to live in D.S gurung road at the main centre of Kalimpong town.I miss Kalimpong every single day since I left from there. I had a lots of friends and some relatives back there. As the matter of the fact, I am from Nepal, so I was studying there. I spent almost twelve years (1989-2000) with my grandparents. Even though I am not in Kalimpong, this site make me feel like I am in Kalimpong. The place and know is totally huge different than Kalimpong. I havent seen any mountains and hills for five years. I live in big cities, so I am tired of keep looking at vechiles every day. Hope to see more evergreen kalimpong gallerys and information about kalimpong on this site all the time.

your website gave the me the pleasure of my lost golden days passed with this heavenly soothing place named kalimpong. The memories suddenly passed came back like a fragrance of flowers i felt at kalimpong. The odds and evens i enjoyed in this city was great in bringing my personality. in ‘the generous lap’ of this city i grew to become young and face this challenging world. during these busy days when i came thorugh your website; it was like taking cold bath during hot summer days. thanks kalimpong admin for finding lost memories of not only mine but alot like mine. i will be in touch with you and will try to post some of my memories with photographs (if you permit and possible).
My Profile : I was in kalimpong since 1989 till 1996 when i got a job and from then i am out of kalimpong. I studied at Central School and SUMI school. i participated in various functions organised there. i had a group of my freinds whom i have lost contacts; some due to my time liablities and some due to lack of communication. but via your website i will try to retrieve them back if you assist me. One or two of my freinds is still in kalimpong whom i miss alot. some of them are :
(1) Amit
(2) Samuel
(3) Vijay Moktan
(4) Rajkumar Thakur (Madhuban Saloon)
(5) Rajkumar
(6) Prem
(7) Nirnay
(8) Bhavana
(9) Pooja
(10) Vishnu
(11) Maria
and many more to write

Hi all,
My study is from Kalimpong Kendriya Vidyalaya.
I miss this place very much.
February 8th, 2007 at 10:57 pm
If there is Heaven on Earth I guess that should be Kalimpong although I left my hometown some 24 years back in one hot summer dog day in Paradise and I never dared to look back that heaven again because I already made a habit to live in Hell…but just the memory of that Sweet Kalimpong makes this hell freezes over and I feel good…. I reluctantly accepted base ball as my favourite past time instead of that soccer match between SUMI & Sikkim Guard back in sixties…those were the days disappeared without letting us know that the time is running out….and it ran out just like that and I cried alone for hours in the memory of my sweet home town Kalimpong still shining by the ridge…

Hi all,

I am glad to hear about Bimal Gurung and his sincere opposition for a just cause.
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.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:44 am
Would like to say hi to all my Kpg folks out there.
Lived in Kpg from birth till 1988 then moved to Delhi.Kpg is a great place.I was last there in 2005 and noticed that things have changed since the last time I was in 1996 but it is still the best place.Kalimpong is and will always be my home and will be returning home maybe after 15 years to finally settle down for good.
Until then wish you all the very best.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:48 am
Well Gheising made a neat few crores and made fools of the innocent people of Kpg and disturbed the peace and tranquility of our place.It’s time people realised that he is doing all this for his own personal benefit.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:59 am
Gheising surely does not have any love lost for Kpg,he is only concerned about his own personal profit.Somebody should surely question him about the money given to him by the Indian Government for the hill development, it was not given to him to keep his pocket full but for the welfare of all those people who had suffered so much in the course of agitation.
November 27th, 2007 at 2:44 am
I guess nobody wants to lose six inch. Ghising’s gundagardi seem to have worked in the Hills. Untill and unless people join hands together against this corrupt man nothing is going to happen. He has successfully divided the people of Hills and given birth to Gundagiri.
December 2nd, 2007 at 8:22 pm
I appeal to all the youngsters of Kpg not to get involved in any activities using force. GNLF is a corrupt gang and is not at all for the welfare of the people specially kpg.GNLF
is a private company with Subash Gheising as the chairman.
Now there is one other thing - this is not the 80’s or 90’s where use of force was not taken very seriously. Now the terrorist tag ma be applied once weapons are involved and civilians are harmed and terrorised.
Even if the weapon is a simple khukuri, it is still a weapon which can terrorise normal human life.
This is after Sept 11, 2001. The world is fighting terrorism, be it for a local cause or international, a terrorist is still a terrorist. There is no place to hide like the old days. There is super high tech to even smell you out from anywhere you try to hide.
December 7th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Its amazing that I was just surfing the net and came across this website about kpg. I left kpg in the year 1980 and have been back only once in 1996, I was from sjc and now being so far away from kpg I really miss it so much that I can’t wait to go back and settle down there for good. It was very nostalgic to see all those photos from kpg, it was a very happy place,thanks for the pictures.
