Darjeeling

Darjeeling is located in West Bengal, in a hilly region at an altitude of over 2,000 meters. The cool climate of the highlands attracted people to the area, which was developed as a summer resort during the British colonial period. The misty hills are ideal for tea cultivation, and the area is known as one of the world's leading tea-producing regions. The observatory overlooking the famous Himalayan peak of Kangchenjunga and the World Heritage railroad, which transported summer vacationers and tea leaves in the olden days, make the trip a pleasure.
