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.

It is the peace, serenity and the healthy climate of Kurseong that attracts many people to this place. The rich flora of Kurseong town and surroundings is fascinating, and it has aptly been described as a 'Botanists' Paradise'.
