The town of Kalimpong stands on a ridge connecting two prominent hills, the Deolo and the Durpin, and is elevated at an altitude of 1247meters approximately, with Deolo (1704meters) being the highest point of Kalimpong. The river Teesta, flowing down the valley, separates the city from the rest of Sikkim, while the Shiwalik ranges stand tall, enveloping this tranquil site. An overview of the snow-clad Himalayas with a clear vision of the majestic Kanchenjunga completes the city's scenic beauty.
