Darjeeling

Darjeeling (Nepali: ¦¾°²¿ help·info), Bangla: ¦¾°¿²¿} is a town in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is the headquarters of Darjeeling district, in the Shiwalik Hills on the lower range of the Himalaya, at an average elevation of 2,134 m (6,982 ft). The name "Darjeeling" is a combination of the Tibetan words Dorje ("thunderbolt") and ling ("place"), translating to "The land of the thunderbolt."^ During the British Raj in India, Darjeeling's temperate climate led to its development as a hill station (hill town) for British residents to escape the heat of the plains during the summers.

  • Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI)
  • Himalayan Zoo - Padmaja Naidu Zoological Park (shares the premises of HMI)
  • Buddhist monasteries
  • Japanese Peace pagoda
  • The Kanchenjunga - best seen at dawn from Tiger Hills (check out the weather though, a cloudy day can ruin the effort of getting up at 0300 hrs. Also for traffic jams, can take hours in the morning rush when almost all the taxis here are at the Tiger hills)
