Darjeeling
The queen of the Hill
Darjeeling at elevation2134m. is located on a spur with houses
hugging the hillside. Its verdant hills and valleys are steeped
in color and are interspersed with vast stretches of lush green
tea gardens. Presiding over all these is the 8586m. Mt. Kanchenjunga
looming over the northern horizon, giving a magical aura the
land. Darjeeling town, Kalimpong and Kurseong are the major
centers. Heavily influenced by British. The tot train is one
of the most striking examples of Darjeeling's British Raj influence.
Darjeeling provides the perfect ambience of a hill resort with
its mild climate and laid-back charm.
