Darjeeling’s Tourism Hub Secures ₹250 Cr Investment
West Bengal’s hill tourism is witnessing a major upswing as eco-resorts and homestay projects in Kalimpong, near Darjeeling, have attracted investments worth ₹250 crore. This funding influx is expected to transform the region’s commercial real estate landscape, especially in tourism-centric zones.

The rising interest from hospitality chains and private investors is driven by Kalimpong’s scenic beauty, increasing footfall of eco-conscious tourists, and demand for sustainable luxury experiences. Projects include boutique resorts, wellness retreats, and heritage-styled homestays, catering to both domestic and international visitors.

The commercial realty sector in Kalimpong is experiencing rapid momentum, with plot prices and rental values surging. Industry analysts attribute this growth to the post-COVID travel resurgence, improved road connectivity, and government initiatives promoting the Eastern Himalayan tourism circuit.

With the ₹250 crore investment, Kalimpong is poised to become a leading eco-tourism destination, boosting employment, infrastructure, and long-term real estate prospects across the Darjeeling hills.
