Darjeeling: Queen of the Hills
Darjeeling reveals itself slowly, through mist-covered tea gardens, golden sunrises breaking over snow-capped peaks, and the gentle rhythm of a century-old toy train winding through the hills. Monasteries and mountain views add a quiet, reflective note, making this hill town far more than just its famous tea.

West Bengal’s hill country is a scenic retreat in the eastern Himalayas, offering a rich blend of colonial heritage, tea culture and mountain views. The hill town of Darjeeling is known worldwide for the tea grown across its terraced slopes, it’s cool climate and colonial-era charm drawing travellers up into the mountains. Visitors often begin at a local tea estate, where the leaves are plucked and processed before being sampled fresh, the rolling gardens offering a first taste of the region’s famous produce.Â
 Beyond the tea gardens, Darjeeling’s mountain wonders beckon. Before sunrise, travellers make their way to Tiger Hills, where the sky shifts through colour just before the entire Kangchenjunga range turns gold in the first light. The peaceful Ghoom Monastery offers a quiet pause, while a ride on the historic toy train, a UNESCO World Heritage attraction, winds through the town’s narrow streets. The experience is rounded off with visits to the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, the Japanese Temple and the Peace Pagoda, each adding its own layer of history and calm to the hills.
