Darjeeling

Calcutta & the Northeast, India

Darjeeling has long offered a respite to travellers escaping the heat of the plains and many visitors still arrive as they did over 100 years ago, aboard the blue Toy Train which winds through lush forests, bustling streets and tunnels cut into the mountains.

On clear days, panoramic views of the snow-dusted Himalayas await, while Buddhist monks invite you into ornate prayer halls, and shopkeepers unfurl enticingly soft pashminas.

A mix of Tibetan, Bhutanese, Nepalese and Indian influences, along with the remains of the British Raj, create a melting pot that influences the experiences offered by this hillside town.
