Hi! I was glad that you have some good thing going here. The people of Darjeeling is looking for a voice and it is great that you have provided one. It is high time “We the People” must speak and we cannot allow our inept, greedy and manipulative, so called leaders, to decide what is good for us.
However, it would be even better if you allowed the people of Darjeeling district to speak on the issues by starting a discussion board and doing public polls online. It is high time a common platform must be provided to the people to rise against this tyranny of our leaders.
Believe it or not, this is tyranny when people is being robbed of their freedom in the name of an elusive thing called tribal status – it is nothing but another gimmick to gain political mileage for another five years.

Hi guys, studied for 5 years in St. Joseph’s, kalimpong (many years ago-1977 was my last year there!), and haven’t been able to make it back since. Would love to see pictures of my old school, and get some info about it. Namely, is the school song still, “Deep in the valley by a swift flowing river….”, sung to the tune of the scottish national anthem? Are there still two houses, Annes and Mariannes? Does the school still go to the parade ground on 15th of August? Do the girls still wear tams(light blue in colour)? I have very fond memories of walking to school every morning, passing the orphanage above it, also run by our nuns? Does it still exist? Does the school still own the amount of land it did at that time? Please could you publish some recent photographs so I can show the same to my daughter? I would be very grateful. Thanks a ton

Hi frieds can I have pics of army school? If any one is having pics of GUMPHA GROUND, places above CHANDRALOKH it will be nice…

Hi ya all, I am so glad that I definately found what I was looking for. I was searcing for kalimpong gallery on google, and exactly came up. It was very impressive and reliable website.Well I used to live in D.S gurung road at the main centre of Kalimpong town.I miss Kalimpong every single day since I left from there. I had a lots of friends and some relatives back there. As the matter of the fact, I am from Nepal, so I was studying there. I spent almost twelve years (1989-2000) with my grandparents. Even though I am not in Kalimpong, this site make me feel like I am in Kalimpong. The place and know is totally huge different than Kalimpong. I havent seen any mountains and hills for five years. I live in big cities, so I am tired of keep looking at vechiles every day. Hope to see more evergreen kalimpong gallerys and information about kalimpong on this site all the time.

If there is Heaven on Earth I guess that should be Kalimpong although I left my hometown some 24 years back in one hot summer dog day in Paradise and I never dared to look back that heaven again because I already made a habit to live in Hell…but just the memory of that Sweet Kalimpong makes this hell freezes over and I feel good…. I reluctantly accepted base ball as my favourite past time instead of that soccer match between SUMI & Sikkim Guard back in sixties…those were the days disappeared without letting us know that the time is running out….and it ran out just like that and I cried alone for hours in the memory of my sweet home town Kalimpong still shining by the ridge…

I am glad to hear about Bimal Gurung and his sincere opposition for a just cause.
Sun 27 July 1986 massacre at Kalimpong happened due to the instigation by Subash Gheising who was staying comfortably in Darjeeling and even now. The government of India hushed up and corrupted Subash Gheising to deceive the straightforward people of Kalimpong. I appeal to respected Bimal Gurung and all my beloved Kalimpong folks that the best way for progress of Kalimpong is to merge with the State of Sikkim. Let Subash Gheising and Darjeeling keep playing around . For Kalimpong the best policy will be to stay away from Gheising’s nonsense.

Lived in Kpg from birth till 1988 then moved to Delhi.Kpg is a great place.I was last there in 2005 and noticed that things have changed since the last time I was in 1996 but it is still the best place.Kalimpong is and will always be my home and will be returning home maybe after 15 years to finally settle down for good.
Until then wish you all the very best.

Well Gheising made a neat few crores and made fools of the innocent people of Kpg and disturbed the peace and tranquility of our place.It’s time people realised that he is doing all this for his own personal benefit.

Gheising surely does not have any love lost for Kpg,he is only concerned about his own personal profit.Somebody should surely question him about the money given to him by the Indian Government for the hill development, it was not given to him to keep his pocket full but for the welfare of all those people who had suffered so much in the course of agitation.

I guess nobody wants to lose six inch. Ghising’s gundagardi seem to have worked in the Hills. Untill and unless people join hands together against this corrupt man nothing is going to happen. He has successfully divided the people of Hills and given birth to Gundagiri.

I appeal to all the youngsters of Kpg not to get involved in any activities using force. GNLF is a corrupt gang and is not at all for the welfare of the people specially kpg.GNLF
is a private company with Subash Gheising as the chairman.
Now there is one other thing – this is not the 80’s or 90’s where use of force was not taken very seriously. Now the terrorist tag ma be applied once weapons are involved and civilians are harmed and terrorised.
Even if the weapon is a simple khukuri, it is still a weapon which can terrorise normal human life.
This is after Sept 11, 2001. The world is fighting terrorism, be it for a local cause or international, a terrorist is still a terrorist. There is no place to hide like the old days. There is super high tech to even smell you out from anywhere you try to hide.
