It depends upon the degree of difficulty/ pain he or she have. from my point of view it would take 20-25min with few rest/halts (&with knee-cap but not with stick). Parking lot is not conventional. it is very crowdy place on steep narrow road and car r just trying to find a gap. So u must try to reach as much as close to the gate of park. after crossing the gate u gradually moving upward through road. Last position(probably 100mt+) to reach the top is difficult. There is no chance to get a horse with out reaching the top. its mainly for children amusement. if u reach the top, then must move for 10-15 steps more to reach the view-point on the right side corner of Swing. its refreshing...good luck

In Deolo hills property itself, there are 2-3 view points from where you can watch the beautiful the Kanchenjunga mountains as well as the valley & the beautiful city of Kalimpomg. The paragliding experience was magnificent for us & is surely should not be missed. The paragliders take us on a 360° ride from where you can see Kalimpong, Darjeeling & parts of Sikkim too. The entire ride takes about 12-15 minutes. There are several other tourist spots in and around Kalimpong such as the very beautiful Hanuman Statue on a small hillock, the famous Durga temple in the city, a couple of Buddhist monasteries (Phodong & Tharpa Choling), the beautiful & Serene Mangal Dham, the unique cactus nursery, the colourful & beautiful pine nursery, the Teesta River Rafting, the kalimpong science center et al.

Check out the political scene before you go. The access to the Hills has been interrupted by protests. The residential schools had to be evacuated in June 2017. Not sure what is operating now.

You can get plenty of paragliding operator in the gate of Dello.So you dont have to book paragliding in advance They offer services 30 mins -1 hrs approx rate 2200/-.I visited there last year ,rate may be changed.

You can book share taxi which will cost 150-200 rs/head to reach kalimpong. You can book another car from kalimpong that will cost 1000rs and you can visit all the attraction of kalimpong and deolo hill also.

I stayed at Sinclairs Resort, and alcohol was no problem. Rather the cost was lower than that in any similar place in Kolkata.

Hi, charges are Rs. 3000. But it will be an amazing experience. But you can burgain. One should try this if you dont have COPD or Heart problem.

Generally people avoid N-E region in the rainy season, there is chances of land slide & road blockage. But Himalaya has it's own beauty in the rainy season. It's full of waterfalls and greenery everyw. If you're a fond of nature and adventures then I'll suggest to give a try. Kalingpong is amazing during rain.

Hey there, We were in Kalimpong in mid May, the weather was wonderful then. However it rains a lot in Kalimpong, so August won't be the right time, your movement will be restricted and also the view of the mountains and the valleys, by the fog. Visit after the rains but before Durga Puja.

You can do paragliding at Deolo Hill. Cost will depend on the time you want to glide. They also can make a video of the entire duration using a GoPro camera. There are various groups available for paragliding. I don't remember the prices exactly.
