Darjeeling – The Queen of Hills
Darjeeling, often called the “Queen of Hills,” is one of the most beloved hill stations in the Eastern Himalayas. Nestled at an altitude of about 6,700 feet, this charming town is world-famous for its sprawling tea gardens, colonial architecture, and breathtaking views of the majestic Kanchenjunga, the third-highest peak in the world. The highlight of any Darjeeling trip is witnessing the magical sunrise at Tiger Hill, where the snow-capped peaks glow in shades of gold and pink. The town is also home to the UNESCO World Heritage Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, fondly known as the Toy Train, which offers a nostalgic journey through winding tracks and lush landscapes.
