In the local dialect, "Apani Dhani" means "Our Hamlet", an affectionate name given to the place by Ramesh C. Jangid, founder of the ecolodge and a pioneer of a form of militant tourism in India, especially in Rajasthan and his own native region of Nawalgarh.

As with most mountain towns, Kalimpong mainly attracts Indian tourists. Kalimpong is overshadowed by Darjeeling, which is also to the north of West Bengal and Gangtok to the south of Sikkim. Many western tourists don't set foot in the place.
As with its competitors, Kalimpong boasts bazaars, temples, pretty views, notably of Khangchendzonga, as well as plant nurseries. I'll no doubt finish my trip with loads of photos of Bengali families on holiday, as the Indians love having their photo taken with foreigners.
During my <a href="/india/"> trip to India</a>, Kalimpong left me a bit indifferent. The town resembles the other urban hubs in the area and I loved Darjeeling so much that it was never likely to win the race!
