Darjeeling has amazing sights to offer to the tourists and has been blessed with an abundance of natural beauty. The times when you can enjoy the beauty that Darjeeling has to offer is April to June and October to November. Fragrant tea gardens surround Darjeeling and are interspersed by wild jungle of Fern and Bamboo. The most exciting and nostalgic form of transportation to reach Darjeeling is the Toy Train. One can only marvel as the miniature steam train huffs and puffs while literally wrestling its way up a straight path of blind curves and loops. A tourist to Darjeeling must visit Tiger Hill for a truly magnificent view of the Himalayas. One has to reach before the sun rises and the clouds roll in. One is then able to truly appreciate the beauty of the Himalayas as the darkness turns to dawn and the peaks are unveiled in their pristine glory.
To truly appreciate Darjeeling one has to understand that when one enters Darjeeling it is like traveling back in time to the days of the British Raj. The most popular street is 'The Mall' where one can find Tibetans selling hand knitted sweaters. Souvenir shops are also available in the dozen where both real and imitation antiques can be bought. The Mall leads to Chaurasta, a square full of commercial activity. This is the hub where hotels, restaurants and shops fight for space and the area is also a paradise for souvenir collections. A spot worth visiting is the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute created by the late Tenzing Norgay. Here the equipment used by Norgay with Sir Edmund Hillary to climb Mt Everest is displayed. Near to the institute is a zoological garden where an assortment of wildlife such as yaks, Siberian tigers and red pandas has made their home. Darjeeling tourism has to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace as a reminder to the good old days of the British Raj. |
