Darjeeling, also known as “Queen of the Hills”, is a scenic hill station in West Bengal, nestled in the Himalayas at about 2042 meters. Nestled among the rolling mountains with the glistening Mt Kanchanjunga, towering above the azure sky, a cup of Darjeeling tea in hand, lush tea plantations, a ride aboard the historic ‘Toy Train’, it provides a perfect gateway for those seeking to be in harmony with the nature.

With Colonial-era architecture and peaceful Tibetan monasteries defining its timeless charm, Darjeeling promises enchanting local traditions in the soothing environment of mist covered mountains.

Darjeeling was part of Sikkim, before East India Company took over in 1835. Britishers discovered Darjeeling’s cool climate, ideal for sanatorium, soon it became a popular British hill station and a summer retreat for colonial officers. After 1947, Darjeeling became part of West Bengal.
