With an altitude of 1458 metres, a pleasant climate throughout the year, rolling hills with tea estates, relics of the colonial era and an unhurried pace of life, it's not difficult to see what lures the tourists to the picturesque hill-station of Kurseong, 32 km from Darjeeling.

Kurseong, meaning “the Place of White Orchid,’ is noted for its secluded charm and Eagle's Crag which offers a commanding view of the undulating plains below. Because of its lower elevation, the place enjoys a milder and very healthy climate throughout the year. Here you will find some fine specimens of colonial architecture.
