On arrival at NJP Railway Station we proceed by road to Kalimpong. Here we check into our very fine resort, which is situated inside the grounds of an expansive orchid garden nursery. We take some time to freshen up from the journey, and head out after lunch for sight-seeing around Kalimpong. We rest over dinner.

The day is spent in Kalimpong, with a thrilling white-water rafting experience arranged for those who wish. Prepare yourself for a unique rafting experience on frothing white rapids of the River Teesta, at a spot where the soft green water of the lovely River Rangeet swells into the heavy, sediment flow of the Teesta. Sightseeing around Kalimpong or a day at your own leisure is an enjoyable alternative. We stay overnight in Kalimpong.

After breakfast, we head for Tinchuley, an area known locally as the paradise of the Orchid. It attracts orchid botanists from all around the world, and the view of the surrounding peaks like sentinels watching over this natural haven add a flavor to this enchanting place that calls you irresistibly to linger on your leisure time. There is free time on arrival to simply wander and explore nature’s best. In the evening we enjoy a traditional music performed by local artists around the warm orange glow of a campfire, and rest over dinner.
