Durpindara is a dream in itself. A beautiful view, the scenic beauty and above all the fantastic weather all around, adds to the ambience of the place. The way the clouds surrounds you and dampens your sorrows and the wind blows away all your worries, proves the connection between nature and the spiritual world. Must visit

Holidify's OpinionBreathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga and Chola range. It overlooks the Teesta valley. Home to a beautiful nursery industry.
The city is somewhat secluded and unexplored.
It makes for a great destination for honeymooners, who wish to spend time by themselves.
