Pay a visit to Darjeeling, you will be lured by the dazzling snow peaks of Kanchenjunga overlooking the hill town, the beautiful tea gardens on the slopes of rolling hills, the orchids, pines and rhododendrons, and the cute Himalayan toy train whistling its way through the mountains.
Darjeeling is the headquarters of the Darjeeling District which has a partially autonomous status within the state of West Bengal. It is also a popular tourist destination in India.
One of the popular tourist attractions here is the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Darjeeling has been a popular hill station since the British established it as a rest and recreation centre for their troops in the early 19th century. Darjeeling offers a plethora of options for those seeking an adrenaline rush. Visit the Singalila National Park to catch a glimpse of the red panda or for some high altitude trekking. Colonial architecture characterizes many buildings in Darjeeling, exemplified by the Raj Bhawan and the Planters’ Club.
