Kurseong, (also called “Kharshang” in Nepali) “THE LAND OF WHITE ORCHIDS”, is undoubtedly an attractive tourist destination. It was in 1835 when the monarch of Sikkim had gifted Kurseong to the British Empire.  The name is said to be derived form the lepcha word “KURSEONGRIP” referring to small white orchids, prolific in the entire region. The quaint little town is nestled in the birch of thick forests (approx 45kms North of Siliguri and 30 kms south of Darjeeling). Nature plays a vital role towards the picturesque beauty of Kurseong. The Road from Siliguri to Kurseong runs through thick forests and tea gardens where one can experience the fragrance of fresh tea being processed along the roadside factories.


Kurseong is also nicknamed as school town as there are a lot of schools like Goethals Memorial, St Helens, Victoria and Dowhill that were built during the colonial period.
