Himalayan Eagle Resort lower Chhibo Kalimgpong. A contradicting experience. Both pleasant and annoying. Stayed in April 2015. Distance 30 minutes drive from the Kalimpong taxi stand. The distance from the taxi stand is about 7 Km but you have to travel up a hill on extremely bad road. Most taxi drivers do not know the place. Location remote and beautiful beside Gyankul preparatory school. Lower Chhibo. Nestled in a hill surrounded by stepped cultivated plots natural wooded area beautiful quaint little houses of the neighborhood bedecked with all kind of flowers of every imaginable colors. the Location is truly beautiful. From every cottage you get an 180 degree view of the Mountains in front On your right is the Kalimpong city on you left Darjeeling and in front of you is the snowy mountain range of Kanchan Junga. We Could not see the snow peaked mountains because of the fog but Mr Lahiri owner he has taken lease from Mrs Susanne Khati assured us that when the sky is clear you can see the magnificent snow covered mountains. Ideal for long walks and picnics neighbors are friendly open and simple people most will invite you to their homes with a smile. There is a tiny brook with a bridge nearby, sit here to watch vibrant butterflies. The area is full of many exotic Himalayan birds. Take with you a Binocular and Dr Salim Ali's book on Indian Birds if interested in birding. In the night you will feel as if you are hanging between star filled galaxies. There are tiny blinking lights far away from distant towns and stars in the sky above. The only sound you will hear are the chirping of crickets and barking of two pet dogs BoBo and Bruno. There is no shop, no medical store nearby taxi takes more money for every one way trip in to the town. Just one taxi driver Bhart lives the road.
