About the trip
Kurseong, south of Darjeeling, is the shy, often-overlooked little sister of the more glamourous. Queen of the Hills further up the track. Its name derives from the Lepcha word kurson-rip, a reference to the small white orchid prolific in this area. Surrounded by manicured Tea estates, it is also currently the southern terminus for the charming toy trains of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
