On arrival at New Jalpaiguri Station or Bagdogra Airport, you will be received and transferred towards Sillery Gaon - a small village at a distance of 10 kilometers from Delo in Kalimpong. This pristine village is situated at an altitude of 6000ft, above and a dense forest of pine and other hilly trees and cinchona plantation offers
absolute tranquility, which many vacationers look for. Being a small, underdeveloped village, which has caught the limelight very recently, Sillery Gaon cannot provide you with luxurious accommodation options, but once you reach the place, perhaps those luxuries will not mean much to you since Sillery Gaon will
delight you with its natural treasures by that time. Overnight Stay at Homestay in Sillery Gaon
