Kalimpong, 50km east
of Darjeeling, has much to offer including an extraordinary profusion of
orchids and other flowers, great views of the Kanchenjunga, several
monasteries and lots of potiential for walks in the surrounding hills. A
deep-rooted dissatisfaction has its political voice in the Gurkha
Liberation Oragnization, a shadowy, radical movement committed to
the cause of Gaurkhaland and freeing the Darjeeling Hills from
the state of West Bengal. |
