Darjeeling, known as the Queen of Hill Stations,
Darjeeling literally means 'Region of the Thunderbolt' and is surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Himalayas and Buddhist Monasteries. Guys, 'The Tiger Hills' the highest peak.. where we can have the splendid view of the Kanchenjunga and Mt. Everest.
Darjeeling is known world wide for its toy train.I bet you would like the joy ride.. It is one of the few remaining steam powered trains in the world. It comes from Siliguri and takes six to seven hours to cover a distance of 82 kms. It gives enough opportunity to enjoy nature and see beautiful waterfalls and streams as it passes through deep green valleys, mountain passes, tea gardens and tunnels. The Panoramic view of the lush greenery is so nostalgic n mesmerizing....it will literally takes you in...
N who can forget the refreshing darjeeling tea.......blended with other spices enough to fill your body n soul with euphoria........seriously..
It has many beautiful tea plantations where one can actually watch tea being processed. Darjeeling is also a trekker's paradise and the Gorkha hill council provides ample trekking facilities to the adventure lovers.Man! trekking is definatly cool thing to do...right!
Trekking paths branch out from the centrally located market place, The Mall.Which is..very easy to excess.
Other places to boost you interest undoubtly would be the Japanese peace pagoda, the Tenzing Norgay Himalayan Institute, Dhirdham Temple, Mahakal Temple, Ghoom Monastery, Yiga-Choiling Monastery, Senchal Lake, Sumendu Lake, Mirik town and the Padmaja Naidu Zoo that houses animals ranging from Siberian Tigers to llamas.
Darjeeling is not complete without its people who lives completely in harmony with nature.You will love there hospitality n simplicity..
