Darjeeling rises through steep hills in West Bengal, surrounded by tea gardens and looking towards the high Himalaya when skies are clear. Its colonial hill-station history remains visible, but tea and mountain culture define the destination today.
Tea country
Private estate visits can explore cultivation, plucking and processing while providing time to walk through the gardens. The quality and character of Darjeeling tea are inseparable from altitude and local conditions.
Mountain atmosphere
The heritage railway, monasteries and viewpoints add variety, while weather can change quickly. Darjeeling combines naturally with Sikkim or a wider eastern Himalayan journey.
