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.

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.

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.

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.

Travel Plan by Seasons

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.

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.

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.

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.

The name of this alluring hamlet has a significant meaning and in the Lepcha language it means "Land of White Orchids". Surrounded by luxuriant alpine forest and daunting mountain peaks of Himalaya, Kurseong is truly a mini paradise got more prominence when Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) was extended to this city. DHR along with the soothing weather of Kurseong makes it an ideal weekend destination.

Kurseong, the land with a variety of white orchids is also known for its exotic view of the sunset visible through a marvelous mix of clouds.

Kurseong to Darjeeling Travel Guide from Kolkata

If you want to find the cheapest holiday destination in West Bengal , the first destination that comes to my mind is the Kurseong Darjeeling tour. I have saved money for three months from my earnings and spent that money on our next tour.

About Kurseong

The king of Sikkim accepted the subjugation of the British by giving them Kharsang as a gift in 1835. The Nepalese language is Kharsang; the meaning of this word is morning polar star, then transformed into Kurseong in the British tongue.

According to another version, Kurseong means Karsan Rup or the place of white orchid. Kurseong is located 32 km before Darjeeling on the Siliguri- Darjeeling route at the height of 1458 m (4860 ft), shaded with pine, far, and birch trees. The distance from Siliguri is 48 km. Via Pankhabari Rd, the distance from Mirik is 46 & via Ghoom, its 76 km.

The third highest peak in the world, the Kanchenjunga, has been seen from the Kurseong. If one can climb up 1 km from the railway station, the Eagle’s Crag can be seen beside the Kanchenjunga; the snow-clad peaks of other mountains are also clearly visible. The pleasant scenario of sunset in Eagle’s Crag is mesmerizing us. The Shahid Smarak is also excellent. The water reservoir is here.

Tourist also looks at the Constantia and the Castleton Tea Estate in this area. If you climb the mountains and go 12 km to the N-East from Downhill, you can truly explore the beauty of nature. There is a Forest museum (except Sat and Sun 10-30 to 17-00) and a Forest School in Downhill .

Our Kurseong Tour

Darjeeling is called the Switzerland of West Bengal. It’s the most famous honeymoon destination for Bengali travellers. You can also book a tour from the Kanchenjunga tourism official website to explore Darjeeling’s beauty.

After becoming a mother, this is my first travel destination. I was stuck at home for a long time, so I eagerly waited to come out and explore something that is my passion, and at that time, my baby was only 11 months old. I am very happy, and after one and a half years, this tour is very refreshing for me.

It’s a 3-day, 4-night journey for the Kurseong Darjeeling tour. Please note whenever you purchase a ticket from IRCTC, please fill up the nomination form and the rail insurance properly; it will help in case of emergency. Nowadays, the trip insurance cost is nil.

The trip was also memorable for my baby, who enjoyed the tour very much. We boarded from Sealdah and reached New Jalpaiguri by Darjeeling mail. We hired a car from there and reached the Cochrane Palace Hotel at Kurseong.

The airport near Darjeeling is Bagdogra Airport. Many online flight booking sites are available where one can buy cheap flight tickets to travel to Bagdogra. It’s one of the best places to travel and explore the exquisite beauty of the mountains.

We reached Mohini Road; along with this road, the scenery is beautiful. We found hills near us and saw an army camp wherever we looked . After reaching the hotel, we got fresh and finished our lunch. 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.

Kurseong tour guide

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.

Visit Darjeeling India, the queen of hills

Darjeeling seems to be the queen of the hills, for her beauty, among India’s hill stations like Shimla Manali , Mussoorie, Shillong, etc. It is famous for Darjeeling orange and Darjeeling tea. The distance between Kolkata and Darjeeling is 633 km, and from Siliguri, the distance is 80 km. Darjeeling is situated at 2185 m or 7100 ft, as the crowning glory of West Bengal is like the Kohinoor diamond.

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.

7 Famous Places To Visit In Kurseong (West Bengal)

June 16, 2023

Kurseong is a charming town in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal and is one of the most visited hill stations in the state. It is elevated at 1482 meters and offers some of the most magical and picturesque views of the mountain ranges as well as of the verdant nature.

The pleasant climate of Kurseong makes it an ideal destination for any season. It has a lot to offer in terms of attractions and experiences.

In this article, you will get to see some famous places to visit in Kurseong,

Ambotia Shiva Mandir
Eagle’s Crag
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Museum
Dowhill Park
Hanuman Statue View Point
Makaibari Tea Estate
Giddapahar Durga Mata Mandir

Let’s see each of these points in detail.

1. Ambootia Shiva Mandir

One of the popular places to visit in Kurseong is the Ambootia Shiva Mandir, a holy temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is located inside the Ambootia Tea Estate.

The temple has a unique architecture that resembles a Buddhist monastery, with colorful flags and paintings. The temple is believed to be a Swayambhu Shiv Mandir, meaning it emerged on its own without human intervention. There is also a rare rudraksha tree that is considered sacred by Hindus.

The temple is surrounded by an orange orchard that adds to the charm of the place. You can enjoy the serene atmosphere and the splendid views of the River Balasun from the temple premises.

The Ambotia Shiva Mandir is a must-see attraction for anyone who loves nature, culture, and spirituality.

2. Eagle’s Crag

The Eagle’s Crag Point is a viewpoint located on the hills of Kurseong, offering stunning views of the Kanchenjunga and the Siliguri plains.

Reaching the point is quite an adventure. You will have to navigate through narrow and steep paths, with water lines crossing your way. It becomes an amazing experience before seeing the destination.

3. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Museum

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Museum is situated at Giddhapahar. It takes around 15 minutes to reach the location from the center of the town of Kurseong.

The house in which the museum is located belongs to Netaji’s elder brother, Sarat Chandra Bose. This house has historic importance as it was Netaji’s abode when he was under house arrest by the British colonial authorities. It was this place from where he had sent numerous political letters of significance to different places and a few letters to his wife Emilie as well. After the imprisonment, he was there in the house for seven months. He also returned to this house in October 1937 and started living there.

The house was converted into a museum in 2005 and is managed by the Calcutta Museum. It displays many photographs of Netaji, such as those showing him taking morning walks at Paglajhora, a nearby waterfall. It also preserves some of his personal belongings, such as a dressing table, a cot, a chair and a study table. All the letters are also preserved very well inside. There is also a Camellia tree that was planted by Sarat Chandra Bose in 1934.

The museum showcases the significant events that took place in this house and the role of Netaji in the freedom struggle. It is a fascinating place for history lovers and also offers a scenic view of the surrounding hills. The museum is affiliated with the Netaji Institute for Asian Studies, which conducts research on Himalayan languages and cultures.

4. Dowhill Park

Dowhill Park is a serene and scenic spot on top of Dowhill. It is a fenced area with a variety of plants and flowers. This place is ideal to spend some time in the middle of the quaint nature. You can see some historic houses from the British era and some rare birds and animals in the park.

The best way to reach the park is by trekking through the wilderness and enjoying the natural beauty. You can also take a cab if you prefer.

The park has a gazebo, a playground, water fountains, and a flower house for you to relax and have fun. This park is also called the deer park because of the many deer that lived there, but they are not seen often anymore due to deforestation.

5. Hanuman Statue View Point

Hanuman Statue View Point is a sacred place with a 40 feet tall statue of Lord Hanuman, built by the Gorkha Territorial Administration. It is situated in the peaceful Gauri Shankar tea garden in the Naya Basti area, under the Castleton Tea Company. The statue stands on a granite platform and is surrounded by steel railings.

From this place, the landscape looks remarkable with all the floating clouds, green valleys, blue sky, and winding roads. Make sure to stay during the golden hour as the entire place turns magical with the setting sun.

You can reach the place by car or bike but be prepared for some curves. The place attracts devotees and tourists alike, who come to worship and admire the natural beauty.

Makaibari Tea Estate is one of the oldest and most famous tea gardens in Darjeeling. This is another famous attraction that you can visit near Kurseong. It was founded in 1852 by an Indian family, who still runs it for four generations.

The temple is devoted to Goddess Durga and has a rock sculpture of the goddess. There is also a big banyan tree near the temple. The devotees who worship the temple tie a string around the tree and ask for a wish. It is believed that if you do this and wish, the wish is fulfilled.
