Overview
Singi Khasmahal is a small rural locality within a broad eastern Kalimpong hill belt of villages, ridges and forested valleys around Kalimpong and Pedong. Because it is a micro-destination rather than a conventional hill station, the experience is centred on quiet village surroundings, local landscapes and short drives to better-known attractions in the wider circuit. It is best planned as a short stay combined with nearby destinations, with flexible local sightseeing depending on weather and road conditions.
Why visit Singi Khasmahal

Things to do

Best time to visit
October to May is generally the most reliable period for sightseeing and village stays. Autumn and winter are clearer; spring is mild and green. Monsoon can bring cloud, rain and road disruption.
