Kalimpong district, Administrative district in West Bengal, India
The Kalimpong district spans across 1,053 square kilometers in the Himalayan foothills, featuring mountain ranges, valleys, and the flowing Teesta River.
The region transformed from Sikkimese territory to British control through the Treaty of Sinchula in 1865, following the Anglo-Bhutan War of 1864.
The district presents a mix of Nepali, Lepcha, and Bhutia communities, each maintaining their traditions through festivals, monasteries, and educational institutions.
The district operates under a temperate climate with mild summers and cold winters, making it suitable for agricultural activities and flower cultivation.
The district serves as a major producer of orchids and other flowering plants, with numerous nurseries exporting Himalayan flower bulbs throughout India.
