Dambar Chowk. Lions Clock Tower Kalimpong

The lions clock tower stands right in the middle of the Rishi Road looking atop the busy traffic and scores of traffic passing by it every day.The structure is a heritage attraction with tourists flocking to see it.The clock tower works even today and was inaugurated way back in 2006 and the details can be found on the white marble board embellished on its side.

Dambar chowk or Lions Clock Tower is located at the centre of Kalimpong Town..Roads are divided in 5 ways in this point.. it's a small area so it's always very crowded..there are different shops located; like groceries, Clothing, Gift shops and restaurants and cafes..Cab are waiting at this location and can be avail for sightseeing..

The one stop for street food; hot rolls, momos, phalays, tea, coffee, hot gossip, cool bystanders, local news, everything Kalimpong town has to offer circulates through this 6-way junction. Truly the heart of K Town!

What's there to say. Earlier this was known as MahaRani Chowk with Bust of Queen Victoria n Charatis Dispensary near by with Industrial Training Centre behind it. Later it was renamed with bust of respected Damber Singh Gurung member of the constituent Assembly installed.
The Clock Tower before it replaced a traffic stand n is a "recent" addition.

Heart of Kpg !!! When u at dis place do buy organic chewra (beaten rice) vegetables maize from our hard working boju (grandmother) bajay (grandfather) to get the real feel of our pahadi (hilly) food taste... Indeed it's the real heart of Kpg where one can feel the pace of Kpg life !!!

A place situated at main market area of Kalimpong, utterly busiest place.

I remember this place since independent, renowned place in history of hills. It landmark mela ground "Place fomous for independence day Parade" Every year.

It also give ideas of silk route and ancient connection of India with Tibet and China.

This is more of an emotional monument. Because this ain't used as a clock tower, more like a landmark. It doesn't have any use other than diverting the traffic into left and right. Apart from that. I don't think there is any use of it.
