Darjeeling
(Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council) in northeast India provides the
perfect ambience of a hill resort with its mild climate and
laid-back charm. Its verdant hills and valley are steeped in
color, and are interspersed with vast stretches of lush green
tea gardens. Presiding over all these is the 8,586m Mt.
Kanchenjunga looming over the northern horizon, giving a magical
aura to the land that entices thousands to its environs and
leaves all the senses intoxicated.
Darjeeling is
hemmed in by Sikkim in the north, Nepal in the West and Bhutan
in the east. Darjeeling town, Kalimpong and Kurseong are the
major urban centers. Heavily influenced by British India.
Darjeeling still retains legacies of its colonial past. The toy
train is one of the most striking examples of Darjeeling British
Raj influence. |
