About Darjeeling
The former summer capital of British India, Darjeeling is one of India's most sought-after hill stations at 2,050m in West Bengal. Nestled amidst acres of tea plantations, it boasts cool climate year-round. The toy train (1881) holds UNESCO World Heritage Status, rising from plains to 2,000m with breathtaking mountain views. Over 86 tea estates produce the worldwide famous Darjeeling Tea — have locally brewed chai at an estate or pluck leaves yourself. The Kanchenjunga peak — third highest in the world, highest in India — is visible from here. Tiger Hill
