Darjeeling at a Glance
About Darjeeling
Darjeeling, the 'Queen of the Hills', is a charming destination that will leave you enchanted. The standout attraction is the iconic Toy Train, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that winds its way through lush tea gardens and misty mountains. One unique thing that travellers love about Darjeeling is the breathtaking sunrise at Tiger Hill, which offers a panoramic view of the Himalayas at dawn.
The best time to visit Darjeeling is from March to May and September to November, when the weather is mild and clear. First-timers should note that Darjeeling is a hill station, and the altitude can take some getting used to, so it's best to stay hydrated and take breaks to acclimate to the thin air.
