Darjeeling............................. also known as "
QUEEN OF HILLS"
Straddling a ridge at 2134 metres and surrounded by tea plantations on all sides, Darjeeling has been a very popular hill station since the British period.These days people come here to escape from the heat, humidity, and hassle of the north Indian plain.Here you will find yourself surrounded by mountain people from all over the eastern Himalaya.
Like many places in the Himalaya, half the fun is in getting there and Darjeeling has the unique attraction of its famous Toy Train.This miniature train loops and switchbacks its way up the steep mountainsides from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling
