Cradled by the Himalaya and wrapped in cool mist, Darjeeling has long been the classic hill-station escape. Sunrise over Kanchenjunga, forests of oak and rhododendron, tea gardens cascading down slopes, and colonial-era charm—this “Queen of the Hills” blends scenery, serenity, and soft adventure in equal measure. From joy rides on the toy train to café-lined promenades, every moment here feels postcard-perfect.
The History & Culture
Darjeeling’s cultural mosaic reflects Gorkha, Lepcha, Bhutia and Tibetan influences alongside a distinctive colonial legacy. In the British era it blossomed into a summer retreat—bringing churches, schools, and the UNESCO-listed Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. Today, Buddhist monasteries, Hindu shrines, mountain festivals and tea estates shape everyday life, while warm hill-town hospitality makes travellers feel instantly at home.
