Nestled in the northern foothills of West Bengal, Darjeeling is a timeless hill station surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Himalayas. The town gained global fame during the colonial era for its sprawling emerald tea gardens, which continue to produce some of the world's finest aromatic black teas. Darjeeling's defining experience is watching the sunrise from Tiger Hill, where the morning light turns the peak of Mount Kanchenjunga—the world's third-highest mountain—a brilliant shades of gold and pink. The town maintains a wonderful mountain charm, best experienced via a ride on the historic, steam-powered Darjeeling Himalayan Railway toy train, a protected UNESCO World Heritage route.
