About Darjeeling

Darjeeling, India's former summer capital during the British Raj, has matured into one of the country's most sought-after hill destinations. This picturesque hill station in West Bengal is the ideal location for a romantic honeymoon. Darjeeling, which is surrounded by tea farms and sits at a height of 2,050 metres above sea level, has a cool temperature all year.

UNESCO has designated the toy railway, which was founded in 1881, as a World Heritage Site. The railway climbs from the lowlands to approximately 2000 metres above sea level, providing stunning views of the mountains as it chugs along.

Darjeeling is home to over 86 tea farms that produce the world-famous 'Darjeeling Tea.' Take your pick between a cup of locally made chai at the tea estate or a walk through the plantations to harvest a few tea leaves yourself.

The Kanchenjunga peak, the world's third highest mountain and India's highest, is visible from here, and you may get a panoramic picture of it. Monasteries, botanical gardens, a zoo, and the Darjeeling-Rangeet Valley Passenger Ropeway cable car, which is the longest in Asia, are among Darjeeling's most popular attractions. Tiger Hill is a great place to see the dawn over the mountains in all of its flaming splendour.
