Introduction To Darjeeling
Darjeeling, the iconic “Queen of the Hills” in West Bengal’s Eastern Himalayas, enchants visitors with its colonial charm, world-famous tea estates, and spellbinding views of snow-capped Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak. Perched at 6,700 feet amid rolling tea gardens and misty pine forests, this British-era hill station offers crisp mountain air, vibrant Gorkha culture, and a blend of serenity and adventure that captivates honeymooners, families, and trekkers alike.
Must-visits include the UNESCO-listed Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (“Toy Train”) chugging through hairpin bends to Batasia Loop’s war memorial and gardens, early-morning Tiger Hill for golden sunrise panoramas over Everest and Kanchenjunga, and Happy Valley Tea Estate for plucking and tasting aromatic Darjeeling first-flush teas. Spiritual seekers explore serene monasteries like Ghoom’s Yiga Choeling and Japanese Peace Pagoda, while wildlife enthusiasts visit Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park housing rare red pandas and snow leopards.
A Darjeeling tour promises thrilling ropeway rides over verdant valleys, treks to Sandakphu for Himalayan vistas, bustling Mall Road shopping for handicrafts, and cozy evenings with momos and thukpa—creating timeless memories in this timeless Himalayan jewel.
