Darjeeling Vacation Guide

Darjeeling is a hill station popular with Indian tourists escaping the heat of the plains, international tourists, and tea enthusiasts.

The town is known worldwide for its tea industry and is surrounded by acres of tea plantations owned by various companies. Tours can be arranged through some of these plantations although many tourists are happy to sample the plethora of fresh tea varieties at the numerous tea shops and merchants in town.

Situated in West Bengal, Darjeeling can be reached by its UNESCO World Heritage designated Darjeeling Himalayan Railway departing from Siligauri. It is a 60cm narrow-gauge railway and is affectionately referred to as the "toy train". The nearest airport is in Bagdogra, 93km from town. Four wheel drive jeeps can be hired to drive the long and winding narrow roads that snake around the steep slopes up to town.

This morning was supposed to be a sunrise viewing of the mountains from Tiger Hill. But the man who arranges these things at the hotel said to not bother going too early, as we most likely wouldn’t be able to see anything anyway. Sigh. So we left for Tiger Hill at 9am, fully expecting to get a fa…
