We started our sight seeing with Durpin Hill... On top of this Hill is the monastery Zang Dhol Palri Phodong where special prayer bells are installed in memory of Tenzing Norkay and his wife by two of his daughters...
This monastery belongs to oldest sect of Tibeteans, the Gelug sect also known as The Yellow Hats, to which both the present Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama and the Tibetean monastery at Bylaguppe, Karnataka belongs to... This monastery by itself was interesting and what I found as intriguing as it, was...the scene from the view deck atop. It unfolded a breathtaking panaromic view... Kalimpong is surrounded by the Himalayan Ranges completely...

It houses a beautiful park of Gorkhaland... Here you can view the mountains of Sikkim along with the Kanchenjunga Range...
