| 1 | Bagdogra/NJP – Darjeeling Assistance at the airport/railway station on arrival and drive to Darjeeling.Standing high in the Himalayas at an altitude of 2134m, ‘Dorjeeing’, or place of the Thunderbolt, offers breathtaking views of snow-capped mountain peaks, with the Kanchendzonga rising higher than all the others. Often referred to as the “Queen of the Hills”, it remains just as alluring with its tiny waterfalls, little villages and a narrow gauge railway track. Surrounded by World Famous Sea Gardens and snow capped mountains, Darjeeling remains one of the most exotic destinations. Graeme Westlake in his book ‘An introduction to Hill stations on India’ refers to Darjeeling as having “A view Scarcely unrivalled on Earth”. |
