June 1, 2004: An initiative has been taken by the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) to promote tourism in Kalimpong and nearby places in the form of one-day package tours covering 11 places of interest. The tour has been packaged so as to attract the middle-class tourists.

The area manager of Kalimpong DGHC, Mr. Bimal Gazmer has informed that the package had received good response during the previous year when it was first launched. A regular visit of 10 tourists is needed to conduct these tours successfully, so the tour is usually carried out during the tourist season when there is a flock of visitors there.

The tourists are given a chance to visit places like Jelep-la View Point, Zang Dhok Palri Phodang Monastery at Durpin Dara, Mangal Dham Temple, Kali Mandir and the newly-opened Hanuman Park. The bus stops in Gorkha village for launch. All of these comes with a charge of Rs.200 per head.
