On the hotel rooftop, the scenic beauty was not forgettable, and they have some toys and a small playground for kids—the hotel was 15 to 20 minutes walking distance from the Kurseong railway station. So the area is less crowded, and the hotel’s surrounding view is very nice. After all, one can find that kind of environment to feel relaxed.

First, we went to the Makaibari tea estate near the hotel by car. Best quality Darjeeling tea can be found here. Anybody can see the processing of tea and also buy some tea. In the evening, we returned to the hotel and enjoyed the sunset with tea.

After 1st day staying at a hotel, we woke up at 6:30 am, packed our breakfast, and went to Kurseong station. Our Toy train timing was 7 am, and then our journey started towards Darjeeling. The Darjeeling toy train is famous all over the world. You can Book a Toy train ticket earlier from IRCTC.

The Darjeeling toy train schedules are available on that website. The toy train from Kurseong to Darjeeling was exciting for us, and that journey invited the entire travel lover back to their favourite hill station. It is a fascinating place to visit, and it is not demanding a high budget, especially for those living in West Bengal. The Darjeeling Toy train trip is very classic and memorable for me.

At the Ghum station, the toy train stopped for a few minutes. This Ghum is one of the famous Darjeeling railway stations. We drank some tea and breakfast over there and again started our Toy train journey.

The taste of Darjeeling tea is lovely. The station Batasia loop is very pleasing, and it is the viewpoint of Darjeeling. The Kanchanjangha is seen adequately from that place through binoculars. After reaching Darjeeling, we hire a car for a side seen.

Holidays to Darjeeling India

After visiting the  most famous places in Kolkata , this can be your second destination in West Bengal. It’s a beautiful place, and you get a lot of tea variations like earl grey tee, Darjeeling tee, Rooibusch tee, tee Trinken, Schwarztee, finest Darjeeling tea, grüntee, Aromatisierter tee, Assam tee, etc.

What to see in Darjeeling India 

The natural scenery of Darjeeling is beautiful. We visited the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park, Tenzing Rock, the tea estate, and Darjeeling Mall .

These are other  tourist places  which are equally famous. You have to divide your program into two ways. There are lots of tea shops in the mall at a reasonable price. Darjeeling Tea can also be bought from the mall. The Darjeeling Zoo time is 8:30 am to 5 pm. We buy Darjeeling tea from there.

After we had reached the Darjeeling mall, the rain was happening in Darjeeling, but that was not heavy rain. It continued for about 2 hours. We took shelter in a tailor shop. So we dismissed the shopping plan. We needed to return to Kurseong, but there was no toy train ticket.

So we decided to hire a car to go back to Kurseong. I have some dry pickles I bought on the way. On the way to return, a huge traffic jam occurred due to rain and landslide issues. At about 8 pm, we returned to our hotel. Take some dinner and then go to bed.

Sevoke coronation bridge 

The next day, flowers were blooming, and it was sunny; it was our homecoming day and our train at 8:30 pm. I used a small camera, a Canon, which also fit in my pocket.

So we decided to roam more in the city. We had planned to go to Sevoke Coronation Bridge and Bengal Safari Park at Siliguri. While returning from Pankhabari Road, we enjoyed seeing the beautiful view of the tea gardens. After we had reached New Jalpaiguri, we hired another car for Sevoke. It is a good place for vacation.

Visit  Digha Udaypur sea beach in West Bengal

The car charged 1500 Rs. It takes one and a half hours to visit the Sevoke Bridge. In the same way, we visited Bengal Safari Park . After reaching Sevoke, we visited the Sevoke Kali temple on the hilltop. Lots of monkeys can be found on the Coronation Bridge. The bridge is on the Tista River and connects Dooars and New Jalpaiguri. There is a picnic spot beside the Tista River. This spot was mesmerizing us.

Bengal safari

After visiting the bridge, we came back and visited Bengal Safari Park. But when we reached the park, the car service was closed for the day. We walk for around 1 hour and return to the Hong Kong market at Siliguri. The time was going on, so we had a short period, and with that time, we completed our shopping and returned to New Jalpaiguri station to journey to Kolkata. Our Kurseong Darjeeling trip finished here.

Kurseong: Ultimate Guide To Plan Your Trip

Kurseong: The Land of White Orchids. The name behind this quaint little town situated close to Darjeeling has an obvious reason. The hill-slopes of Kurseong are home to innumerable white orchids that make the landscape look bright and beautiful. A hill station, located around 30 Km from Darjeeling, Kurseong is locally known as “Kharsang”. Kharsang, in Lepcha language, means ‘Land of White Orchids’.

Located at 1458 feet above sea level and has a pleasant climate all year round. The weather is more moderate than Darjeeling and tourism is a major source of livelihood of this hill station.

Panoramic View of Kurseong City

This place is around 47 Km away from Siliguri and Bagdogra. It is connected to the heart of the city via road and via the Darjeeling Toy Train. You can reach this beautiful town from all other parts of India and across the globe via Bagdogra Airport which is a maximum of 1 hour and 20 minutes away.

Since the year 1880, this has been a place for rejuvenation of the mind, soul and body. The British Viceroys would escape to this hill station to recover from illnesses. It continues to be an escape destination from the nation’s heatwaves.

Kurseong Weather, Temperature and Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit is from the 1 st week of March to the 1 st week of May and again from the 1 st week of October to the last week of November.

Temperature

Temperatures here tend to vary a little. Although it does get humid during certain parts of the year, temperatures feel pleasant all through. There are only a couple of weeks in the winter months when it could feel really cold. The fair amount of humidity leads to precipitation for almost 6 months in a year.

Kurseong-in-Summer

This hamlet town has one of the most temperate weather conditions across tourist destinations in the world. The three hottest months of the year are June, July and August.

A typical day in the month of July will feel like 27.1 degrees C and night will witness a temperature of not less than 18.5 degrees C.

The Factor Of Feels-like Temperature

The temperature of a particular area is not the only deciding factor behind experiencing the weather. If higher temperatures are accompanied by higher levels of humidity, then the discomfort invariably increases. Similarly, if colder temperatures come along with cold winds, the ‘feels-like’ temperature goes down a few points on the thermometer.

Thus humidity and the chill of the winds play important roles in deciding the weather conditions here.

When does it rain and snow in here?

Significant amounts of rainfall occur in the month of August. There is also the possibility of snowfall this month. The months that have the lowest chance of rainfall are from November to February. These are more or less dry spells and tourists love this kind of weather for uninterrupted wandering around.

How humid does it get?

This place is humid and there is no denying that. Highest humidity occurs in the month of August. January is the month with the lowest levels of humidity.

Gently Breezy

Kurseong never really experiences strong and gusty winds. The winds are calm and although January is the windiest month, the average speed never goes beyond 1.3 knots.

Smokey-Kurseong-in-Winters

December is also fairly windy but the average wind speed is contained within 9.8 knots. The consequence is a gentle and breezy air around the city.

Travel Plan by Seasons

Spring season lasts from March to May. The highest recorded temperature is never more than 26.8 degrees C and the lowest temperature never goes beyond 17.8 degrees C. May will feel warmer and you can expect some amount of precipitation for close to 10 days in a month, on average.

The months in the middle of the year are highly comfortable and make tourism very convenient. It lasts from June to August. The humidity is slightly higher than other months but frequent precipitations occur so the average daily temperature never really goes up.

Summer is an important month for tourism and accommodations gets prebooked in this period. So, if you are planning to travel in the summers you got to pre-book your stays.

Morning at Kurseong

Autumn lasts from the months of September to November. The highest recorded temperature in these months is around 25.9 degrees during the day and around 18.4 degrees at night. These temperatures feel especially comfortable because of the wind that comes along.

It might rain or snow a bit in autumn. However, autumn is still the second most sought after the season as far as tourism is concerned, after the summer months.

Lasting from the months of December to January, winter months are quite cold in Kurseong and a minimum temperature falls to 10 degrees C. It could also rain or snow a little in this season. Not too many tourists come visiting in the winter months. But as you know, cold places take a different look altogether in winters and this place is too not an exception.

How to Reach Kurseong From Siliguri | Bagdogra?

It is just around 35 Km away from Siliguri.

The hill station does not have its own train station and the closest stop that you could get down at is Jalpaiguri. The distance from Jalpaiguri is again a good 61 Km.

Here, we will talk at length about the 4 options of transportation from Siliguri.

Siliguri has the nearest airport, Bagdogra, from where direct flights operate till Kurseong. You can take a bus or a taxi to reach Bagdogra airport from Siliguri.

This is the most preferred mode of transportation from Siliguri to Kurseong. The 34.8 Km of distance can be covered in a span of 1 hour 19 minutes. You could hire pre-booked taxis from Siliguri.

One-the-way-to-Kurseong-through-Rohini

These taxis or jeeps generally have a pre-fixed rate chart. A good amount of bargaining is a must if you want to pay the right price.

You will have to board a train from New Jalpaiguri Station. It will take around 4 hours 15 minutes to reach the city. The availability of seats is subject to the number of bookings in peak seasons. You should consider booking your trip well in advance.

It will take around 2 hours and 45 minutes to reach by bus from Siliguri. There are a number of buses plying in between these two places. The buses range from A/C sleeper to Non-A/C sleeper and from Volvo A/C Semi-sleeper to Volvo Non-A/C Semi-sleeper.

There are both private as well as government buses that go through this route.

Hotels in Kurseong

This place is primarily popular for boarding schools and tea estates. However, it is a small town and accommodation might not be as fancy as Darjeeling and Gangtok. Despite being a small town, the town area does have its share of good hotels and homestays.

kurseong sightseeing tour package

Although people generally visit here to take a look at boarding schools or for admission procedures, there are many tourists as well who look for places to stay. Tourists are generally fond of places situated at a distance from the centre of the city. This is perhaps why they prefer putting up closer to the tea estates and farther away from the throbbing city life.

What kinds of hotels are available in here?

The place has all kinds of hotels. They range from budget hotels to the ones in mid-range as well as the ones that belong to the luxurious category. You can choose as per your budget and your convenience.

Since it is a small town but does welcome a large influx of guests in peak seasons, pre-booking hotels is a wise idea.

We, at Nomadic Weekends , believe in making your trip to Kurseong a memory for a lifetime. Our team has travelled the length and breadth of the city to experience different aspects of the hotels to bring you only the best.

KURSEONG TOUR PACKAGE

First slide

₹4500/Person

Kurseong is a town and a municipality in Darjeeling district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is the headquarters of the Kurseong subdivision. Located at an altitude of 1,482.55 metres (4,864.0 ft),[5] Kurseong is 32 kilometres (20 mi) from Darjeeling[6] and has a pleasant climate throughout the year. Kurseong is 34 kilometres (21 mi) from Siliguri and is connected to the city by road and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. The nearest airport is at Bagdogra and the nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri, which is about 45 kilometres (28 mi) from the town. The economy is based primarily on education and tourism. The origin of the name is unclear; stories suggest it comes from the Lepcha language word for "small orchid", kurson-rip because of the little white orchids (Coelogyne cristata) dotting the valleys, or perhaps the term for a stick made out of a local cane. The original inhabitants were the Lepcha people, who named their home "Kurseong", because every spring it was alive and bright with Kurson-Rip orchids. In the remote past, Kurseong was a part of the Kingdom of Sikkim, even before the British came to India. However, in around 1780 the Kingdom of Nepal conquered and annexed Kurseong and its surrounding areas. Then came the Gurkha War, which the Nepalese lost. The 1817 Treaty of Titalia restored Kurseong to Sikkim.[7] With its mountains providing a cool and dry environment in the summer, Kurseong was a favourite of the British. Nevertheless, they found travelling there from the plains of Bengal difficult, even on warm sunny days because of the mountains. Although a road was built from Kurseong to Darjeeling from Titalia in the 1770s and 1780s, its irregular maintenance soon made the new route, the Military Road, almost useless. The next route, Hill Cart Road (now Tenzing Norgay Road), opened in 1861 and fared better. Nevertheless, in 1835 the British decided that Darjeeling would make an excellent sanitorium and summer residence for their military and civilian officers along with their families. Negotiations with the Chogyal of Sikkim, Tshudpud Namgyal, provided them a strip of hill territory in Kurseong for an annual fee. As one of the hill stations on the road to Darjeeling, Kurseong began to develop. Kurseong is home to one of the oldest municipalities in the state of West Bengal. Established as an independent Municipality in 1879, it did not become a Sub-Division until 1890, when the District of Darjeeling was formed. Kurseong and the District were added to the Rajshahi Division (now West Central Bangladesh) by the British Raj for the Bengal Presidency. In 1908, they were transferred to the Bhagalpur Division in the same Presidency. Before Independence from the British, there were 12 ward commissioners. Four of them were appointed by the British Raj and it also appointed its own man, the Sub-Divisional Officer (S.D.O.), as their chairman. In 1939, when Bengal became a province of British India, Kurseong was allowed to elect its own member to be the chairman, but the Raj continued to send ward commissioners until India gained independence. Nevertheless, between 1939 and 1942, Kurseong grew rapidly. As of today Kurseong has 20 commissioners.

The place is known for its picturesque natural beauty, tea gardens and panoramic views of the mountains and plains. We had visited Mahaldiram on a weekend and simply loved this place. This blog is about our experience there, how to reach, where to stay and what to do at Maldiram.

It was after a long time we were travelling again. It was going to be a short trip just to get out of the daily rut.  Several discussions and research later, we decided on going to North Bengal again. There are several beautiful and offbeat places in North Bengal that are not only bestowed with great natural beauty, but also away from the crowds. Just what we needed at that time! We finally decided to visit Mahaldiram or Maldiram near Kurseong, all for our love for tea gardens and the mountains.

Once decided, we booked out train tickets, arranged for the stay and were all set to travel again. We did not find much information on Maldiram on the reliable internet. We found out that this place was located somewhere near Bagora , another beautiful Himalayan hamlet we had visited a long time back. Well, I was fretting about what to expect at Mahaldiram, but Agni, while enjoying my flustered state, also reminded me of the joys of unexpectedness. So here we were travelling to a place without having much idea what to expect. We only knew that there are tea gardens and the place was beautiful!

The Beautiful Mahaldiram (Maldiram)

Mahaldiram (Maldiram) actually made me realize the beauty of unexpectedness. The moment we reached the place, we were simply awestruck. The homestay, Mahaldiram Salamander Jungle Camp , was located just beside the tea gardens. From the homestay itself, we could see the vast expanse of tea gardens, rolling green hills and the vast plains of Siliguri. The place was simply breathtakingly beautiful. So well, we found out another weekend getaway from Kolkata that had simply bowled us over.

We reached New Jalpaiguri Station at around 8:30 AM and took a shared jeep towards Darjeeling. We asked the driver to drop us at Dilaram, from where we had to take another car to reach Maldiram. By the time we reached Dilaram, it was almost noon. We hired another car from Dilaram and travelled towards our destination.

The road towards Maldiram is a beautiful one. Both sides were surrounded by dense pine and oak forest. The car moved slowly through the serpentine mountain roads. On our way, we crossed Bagora as we remembered fondly of our time spent there. The road continued through the hills and often passed some small villages. The last part of the road was quite bad. Our driver informed us that there was a bike accident a few days before on this road.

Finally we reached our homestay – Mahaldiram Salamander Jungle Camp. Although it is named ‘camp’, there is actually no camping involved here. The homestay was a quaint two-storied building having a beautiful terrace with great views.

Our Experience

Let me just share our experience of spending 2 days at Maldiram.

When we reached the homestay, it was already past 1 PM, so we had a sumptuous Bengali lunch and then decided to go out for a walk along the tea gardens. But nature had different plans for us. It started raining heavily and we were stuck in our rooms only. It was only in the evening when the rain stopped and so all our plans to explore the place in the afternoon were cancelled.

But the rains that day cleared the sky the next day. We woke up to a bright and sunny morning. The sky was blue with white clouds and thankfully there was no fog and we could see the plains and the hills quite clearly. Only the Kanchenjunga ranges were not visible. Yes, you actually get a very good view of the Kanchenjunga ranges from Maldiram!

After breakfast, we decided to go out and explore the place. Just then, the mighty Kanchenjunga decided to give us all an appearance. We could see the peaks amidst the clouds. There is something about viewing the Kanchenjunga ranges when you are near Darjeeling. It is like an emotion. We always feel that a view of the mighty mountains always makes the day better.

So we went out, explored the tea gardens, the nearby villages, took photographs and finally reached back to our homestay before lunch.

What to do at Maldiram?

Mahaldiram is a place where you can simply sit and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. Infact that is what we spent doing most of the time. We simply sat down at the terrace and enjoyed the views, the peace and quiet. After all, that was what we were looking for in this weekend trip. And if you want some activity, then you can definitely go the following –

  • Walk through the tea gardens
  • Explore the villages
  • Visit the nearby monastery. We did not visit the monastery though.
  • Being a part of the Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary, you will find a number of Himalayan birds at Maldiram. So if you love bird watching, this is a great place to be.
  • You can also go for a Kurseong sightseeing tour from here.

Nearby places to visit from Maldiram

Like I mentioned before, Bagora and Chimeni is located quite close to Maldiram. And so are Chatakpur, Latpanchar, Ahaldara and Sitong . If you have time, you can club these places and visit together.

Namthing Pokhri is also located about 7 km from Maldiram. This is a beautiful lake and is a natural habitat of a number of Himalayan birds. We had previously visited this lake during our Latpanchar and Ahaldara trip .

How to reach Maldiram?

Maldiram is located about 70 km from Siliguri and about 20 km from Kurseong.

The nearest railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP) and if you are flying in, then you have to reach Bagdogra.

You can hire a car from NJP, Bagdogra or Siliguri to Mahaldiram. A small car will charge you about INR 4000 – 4500.

If you are on budget, then you can take a shared jeep from either NJP or Siliguri Junction towards Darjeeling. A shared jeep will cost you Rs400 per seat. Buses are also available from Siliguri towards Darjeeling. To reach Maldiram, you have to get down at Dilaram.

From Dilaram, you have to hire a cab to reach Maldiram. The car will take around Rs 700.00 – 800.00

Where to stay – Homestay at Maldiram

Mahaldiram Salamander Jungle Camp

The best place to stay is the Mahaldiram Salamander Jungle Camp. The homestay is located at a place known as Hawa Dara (‘hawa’ means wind and ‘dara’ means mountain).

This beautiful homestay has 6 rooms in total. It has a lovely terrace from where the entire vista can be seen. You can see the Chatakpur hills, Latpanchar, Sittong and the SIliguri plains from here. On a very clear day, the Kanchenjunga ranges, Nathula Pass and Sikkim can also been seen from the terrace of the homestay.

The stay cost Rs 1600 per head per day at the time we visited. This includes stay along with the food (breakfast, lunch, evening tea and dinner). The rooms are cosy, though I would say that they require a bit of maintenance.

The food is quite homely and tasty. We had very tasty Bengali cuisine for lunch, aloo paratha for breakfast and chicken and rice at night.

There is another homestay nearby as well – Sonam Homestay.

Tea gardens near Kurseong

We spent a very relaxing time at Mahaldiram. Mountains, tea gardens and great views – the place had all. Infact, it is one of the places that we have thought of revisiting again!

Maldiram looks so pretty and picturesque. I would love to stay at the camp for few days. But the question is there wifi or network system is good enough to stay and do some online work?

Thank you Pamela! However, Maldiram does not have a good network. Only Jio worked when we visited and Airtel had intermittent signal. There was no Vodafone signal. This is a place to just relax!

This is such a beautiful place. Loved the post, and specially the photos. Would love to visit Mahaldiram one day.

Thank you Farhat!
