Darjeeling nights !
Darjeeling is a town in India's West Bengal state, in the Himalayan foothills. Once a summer resort for the British Raj elite, it remains the terminus of the narrow-gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, or “Toy Train,” completed in 1881. It's famed for the distinctive black tea grown on plantations that dot its surrounding slopes. Its backdrop is Mt. Kanchenjunga, among the world’s highest peaks.
Tea and Darjeeling are synonymous. Darjeeling Tea is world renowned for its flavour, which is unequaled by other tea producing areas not only of India but also of the world. Darjeeling still manufactures the tea by the original methods known as the 'orthodox' method.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the Toy Train or DHR, is a narrow gauge train that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling in West Bengal, India. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is known for its scenic route through the Eastern Himalayas
Darjeeling is also famously known as
THE QUEEN OF HIMALAYAS
The geographical location and the climate tea plants are grown in give the tea distinct flavour, taste and aroma, and it cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. Darjeeling tea, the tea that grows in the foothills of the Himalayas in the Indian state of West Bengal, is famous for the same reason.
