Darjeeling is a beautiful hill station in the state of West Bengal, in India.

The dazzling peaks of the Kanchenjunga overlook this pretty hilly town and lure travelers from all over the world. Darjeeling is also known for its beautiful tea gardens located on the hilly slopes, spectacular pines, and charming orchids. The famous Himalayan Toy Train can be seen whistling through the steep mountains and visitors can also enjoy excellent sightseeing tours, exciting things to do, shopping, and mouthwatering food during their stay.
