Darjeeling is one of the best hill station in the Eastern part of India. It is known for its finest tea, "Darjeeling tea" is world famous. It houses Himalayan Railway one of the oldest railways in India. Darjeeling provides variety of adventure sports as well say trekking, rafting
No 1. "Thing to do in Darjeeling" is to travel in the Himalayan Railway, its a oldest and a narrow gauge steam railway still running in good condition as it was before. It makes its journey up and down the hills, in and out of tunnels and over the bridges in between the raw nature surrounded by scenery one can ever imagine.
No2. "Tiger Hill" is one the famous spot in Darjeeling where normally people visit to capture the sunrise early morning. Darjeeling itself is very cool it is a great experience to walk on to the hill early morning at around four, where the sun emerges out right in middle of the hills and looks like it has come out from the hill itself. And to get the best view of this one should be really lucky enough, where clouds from an obstacle between you and the view, the clouds are so thick, stands strong like a thick white wall.
Our lodge was on top of some hill out there in Darjeeling, and roughly around afternoon the windows were open and from no where the clouds entered the room and believe me it was zero visibility condition inside the room was an amazing thing experienced, so if you are going there anytime try staying on the top and obviously the view out from the room was exquisite and just no words to express it. Himalaya is so close, the snow peaked mountains makes the view more delicate and definitive.
When it comes to food its mostly non veg Chinese dishes are one you get there, like Momos, Chow Mein etc. One can get the dishes of other parts of India but not much recommended and costly too. One has to try the Tea for which is Darjeeling famous for and there are many tea plantation found across and many estates welcomes you and let you taste their varieties in Tea is highly recommended.
