Over View
The previous summer capital of India under the British Raj, Darjeeling has come of age as one of India’s most sought-after hill stations. This scenic hill station is located in West Bengal and is the perfect getaway for a romantic honeymoon. Nestled amidst acres of tea plantations, Darjeeling stands at the height of 2,050 meters above sea level, thus boasting a cool climate all year round.
The renowned “Darjeeling Tea” is made in Darjeeling at more than 86 different tea plantations. Take your pick between enjoying a cup of locally made chai at the tea estate or venturing out into the plantations to select a few tea leaves yourself.
From here, you can see the Kanchenjunga peak, which is the highest mountain in India and the third-highest point in the entire world. Monasteries, botanical gardens, a zoo, and the longest cable car in Asia, the Darjeeling-Rangeet Valley Passenger Ropeway, are a few of Darjeeling’s most well-liked attractions. The sunrise over the mountains may be seen in all its blazing splendor from Tiger Hill.
