   KURSEONG - GUIDE MAP 

Kurseong is a quiet little town on the Darjeeling-Siliguri Toy Train’s route. It is noted for its secluded charm and Eagle's Crag, which offers a commanding view of the undulating plains below. The word Kurseong means - the place of White Orchid. Because of its lower elevation, Kurseong enjoys a milder and very healthy climate throughout the year.
