Why Deolo Hill Is a Must-Visit Bike Destination in Kalimpong
If you're
riding through Kalimpong, there's one destination that should be at the top of
your list — Deolo Hill. Known as the highest point in Kalimpong, it
offers stunning panoramic views of the Teesta Valley, snow-covered
Kanchenjunga, and rolling Himalayan foothills. And the best way to experience
it? On a two-wheeler.
In this
blog, Bike Wale Bhaiya brings you everything you need to know to plan
the perfect bike ride to Deolo Hill — from route tips to ride
recommendations.
