Durpin Hill is located on the south west of the hilly town of Kalimpong in the state of West Bengal. The hill is situated at an altitude of 1,372 metres above mean sea level. A ridge on which the town of Kalimpong is situated links the Durpin Hill along with the Deolo Hill. The hill provides a charming view of the town of Kalimpong, the snow capped Himalayan ranges of West Sikkim, the Teesta River and its valley and the Jelepla Pass at a distance.

On the hilltop there is the Zang Dhok Palri Monastery set up by Dalai Lama in 1976. There is a base of the Indian Army on the Durpin Hill since the hill is situated in the border region. Near the monastery the Indian Army built a helipad.
