Darjeeling – Queen
of the Hills
High and mighty, majestic and proud - Darjeeling
wakes up to the mystic Himalayas creating an imposing
backdrop. Thousands of tourists flock to a vantage
point known as Tiger Hill to witness the beautiful
sunrise - a sight reserved for those who have perhaps
prayed earnestly for an experience so blissful.
Prayers are answered here, in the hilly North Eastern
region of India. In fact, life is a divine experience
in these parts. To watch the sleepy town unfold
its mysteries is truly an extraordinary experience.
For it is here that people from various parts of
the world discover that this sleepy little town
is in fact a multi-faceted gem with its British
landmarks and intrinsic East Indian constitution.
Very different from the rest of India, to say the
least. |
Darjeeling
brings a fresh lease of life to the tourist,
besides throwing in many a pleasant surprise.
Did you know that the highest railway platform
in the world is right here, at Ghoom? The Queen
of the hills, as it is rightly called is a wonderful
place to be. The tea gardens are part of a coveted
region on the face of the earth - a place where
the world’s most fabled tea is grown.
