3-star hotels in Kalimpong
This shortlist covers 3-star hotels in Kalimpong, from farmstays and homestays on the ridge to spa resorts above the town. It is for travellers who want a quiet Himalayan base with a guest rating they can trust.
Staying in Kalimpong
Kalimpong keeps a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere than its busier neighbour Darjeeling, with the main town stretched along a ridge between a bustling bazaar and quieter residential lanes. Durpin Monastery, Zang Dhok Palri Phodang and Pine View Nursery are the familiar stops, and the town works as a base for Lava, Loleygaon and Neora Valley National Park.
The hotels here sit in different corners of that ridge. PaliGhar Farmstay, Sinclairs Retreat Kalimpong and Summit Lillium Hotel Kalimpong are out at Lower Echhey Kaafley Gaon, 6Th Mile Purbong Busty and 8.5 Miles Atisha Rd, so they suit travellers with their own transport, while Yuru Retreat at Delo and Golden Kuensel Resort & Spa near Delo Fatak stay close to the town. Couples come for the views and the spa resorts, families for the family rooms and playgrounds, and short-break visitors for the walkable bazaar-side addresses.
