Darjeeling or Kalimpong? It's a common dilemma when planning a Himalayan trip. Here's an honest side-by-side to help you decide.

The Queen of the Hills — tea, the toy train, Tiger Hill and colonial charm.
Kalimpong at a glance
A quieter neighbour with nurseries, monasteries and Teesta-valley views.
