Darjeeling Tours
Darjeeling is known as East India’s Queen of the Hills. Encompassed by verdant tea plantations and perched atop a steep ridge, the town offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Darjeeling was one of the best-known summer capitals during the British Raj. Even today, the lofty architecture and daily lifestyle bear testimony to Darjeeling’s colonial heritage – including high teas in the afternoon! The landscape has been shaped by its aromatic and flavorful black tea which is a world-renowned export. With a stunning backdrop formed by the majestic Himalayas, Darjeeling has yet another gem to offer – the narrow meter gauge Himalayan toy train that rolls through the valleys along Teesta River to the foothills.
