The name Darjeeling has been associated with the production of quality tea and a journey in one of the oldest cute little Toy Trains pulled by steam engine uphill from the plains of Siliguri to Darjeeling, the town in the lap of Mt. Kanchenhunga ( 8586 m.), the final destination. On the way before reaching its destination, it reaches an altitude of almost 2260 meters at Ghoom. The slopes along the way are veiled with tea plants. The Toy Train that has very recently been declared World Heritage is adored by all who have opportunity to ride in it.
The sunrise view from top of Tiger Hill and the sight of the effect of colour over the summit of Kanchanjunga is visible from here. It is a matter to be experienced once in life. The view of Mt. kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world, from Darjeeling is the best. A short trek of Sandakphu – Phalut Region takes you to such places where one can enjoy the colour and fragrance of rhododendrons and other wild flowers in full bloom as well as the 180 degree view of the Himalayas. |
