Darjeeling

Darjeeling is situated on a long, narrow mountain ridge of the Sikkim Himalayas that descends abruptly to the bed of the Great Rangit River. On a clear day the city affords a magnificent view of Kanchenjunga (28,169 feet [8,586 metres]), and Mount Everest can be seen from a nearby viewing point.

Darjeeling, nestled in the Indian state of West Bengal, is renowned for its tea industry and stunning landscapes. Perched in the foothills of the Himalayas, it offers breathtaking views, colonial architecture, and vibrant culture. Known as the “Queen of the Hills,” Darjeeling attracts tourists seeking scenic beauty, adventure, and, of course, its famous tea.
