Once Kalimpong as a undescript yet idylic mountain town its enchanting with panoramic landscape, richness of heritge, diversity of art, culture and music and florishing past Indo-Tibet trade history awaited all its visitors and tourists with open hearts.Arguably Kalimpong did appears to travellers, colonialists and adventurers as a transit space in its early history, The part of Kalimpong which was as regarded as being social elite and which included members of Bhutanes and Sikkimese ruling families, Tibetan atristrocats, Indian government officers as well as sprinkling Eurpoans and Americian research scholars, explorers and journalists made it a cosmoplitan little town. K alimpong has now some beautiful heritage bunglow or buildig where 13th Dalai Lama had found asylum here. So had relatives of the deposed King Theebaw of Burma stayed at Kumai Cottage of Upper Chiboo busty, the elderly charming Afghan princesses who had fled Kabul with King Amanullah housed near Madhuban, Kalimpog. Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark and his wife Princess Irene lived at Gobinda sadan (later gutted down Janta College Building by Gorkhaland agitators in 1986), a negleted villa named Gauripur House was pointed out as having once been Kabigurudev Rqindra Nath Tagor's home, another villa "Crookety" had lived Nicolas Roerich, the master of mountian, his wife Helena Roerich, the goddess of Agni Yoga, writer and thinker and their Russiannpainter Svetoslav Roerich and his Bengali actress wife Devika Rani. The royal family of erstwhile Dinajpur kingdom aslo had Dinajpur house (nowSterling (Park) heritage resort and spa) their summar holidays resort.
The royal family of Kanpur had its grandeur summar residential bunglow "Kanpur house (now National Jute Manufactur guest house). When I visited Kanpur house three decade ago, it was well kept and having stable nearby its complex for horses and elephants living purposes as there was no any mode of trasportation except horse, elephant and bullock cart ride in the olden days in the hill of Kalimpong.
