The house that is now the Himalayan Hotel Kalimpong, was the family home of David Macdonald who was posted to Tibet as a British Trade Agent, serving in Yatung and Gyantse until his retirement in 1924. Notably Macdonald assisted in the 13th Dalai Lama's escape from Tibet in 1910, and was later invited to Lhasa in 1921. He served briefly as Britain's Political Officer in Sikkim, in charge of Britain's relations with Tibet, Bhutan and Sikkim and after his retirement, Macdonald shifted to this house and rented part of it as a hotel. The Himalayan Hotel Kalimpong still remains the residence of the Macdonald family and is now one of the premium hotels in Kalimpong.
