Chisang: Hidden Eden Where Bhutan Whispers Across the Border

Chisang is 1300 Meters in the Kalimpong district and is a serene Himalayan fraction just 4 KM from the Indo - Butan border, where the lush forests of the Mystic Tendu Valley of the Bhutan of Western Bengal are encountered. This offbeat gem offers panoramas of the Nathula range of Bhutan and the emerald green lands of Eastern Himalaya. Without hotels or other commercial hustle, Chisang holds the authentic Lepcha and Nepalese cultures, organic cardamom farms and old forests full of herbs and rare birds. Accessible through a picturesque 3.5 - hour race at Bagdogra airport, the journey winds through the terraced hillside and Teesta valley.

Climate of Chisang dances between subtropical warmth and Himalayan chill, each season painting distinct landscapes:

• October - April (Ideal): 10°C - 22°C, clear skies, and golden sunrises over Bhutan. Winter nights dip to 5°C - perfect for bonfires under starry skies .
• May - September (Monsoon): Heavy rains (90% humidity) cloak trails in mist, triggering landslides. Caution: Roads turn treacherous, but cardamom plantations glow jade-green.
