Perched in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, Kalimpong came to me as a plot twist from a thrilling adventure novel. The misty monasteries, bustling bazaars and the cactus nurseries were filled with stories in each corner. Once I stepped foot on the Deolo Hills while witnessing fluffy clouds over the Teesta river, I felt like I had stepped into another magical world.
