Tea gardens of Darjeeling

Chogyal of Sikkim and later discovered that the area

was particularly well suited for tea plantations. In 1849,

the British annexed the area and Darjeeling became a

part of British India. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway

was opened in 1881 (it is now a UNESCO World

Heritage Site) and the town became the de-facto summer capital of India during the days

when the Raj was governed from Calcutta.

Because it was a popular hill station during the days of the Raj, a lovely Victorian town wasbuilt among the Himalayan foothills, the remnants of which are still visible around the

Chowrasta and Darjeeling remains a popular summer and fall resort for the natives of

Kolkata today. For foreign tourists , the main attractions are the cultural diversity (many

Tibetan refugees moved here after Tibet was annexed by China and they co-exist with the

descendants of the many Nepali and Bihari laborers brought to work in the tea plantations),

the beautiful views (including the wonderful vista view of Kanchenjunga), a variety of trekking

options, and the opportunity to cool down after a stint in the plains. The town is also a

jumping off point for travelers heading to Sikkim. [1] 4 Days Sightseeing in Darjeeling.

There has been intermittent political action from Gorkha groups demanding an independent

state (Gorkhaland). In June 2008 a strike paralyzed the area, with closed hotels,

restaurants and shops, and the accompanying protests even turned violent a couple of

times. Though inconvenient, tourists generally are not at risk, but recently they do check

the status before going there.

Jet Airways, a private airline, has flights from:

Delhi - 9W 601 (Mon/Wed/Fri - Via Guwahati) and 9W 602 (Tu/Th/Sat/Sun)

Guwahati 9W 601 (Mon/Wed/Fri)

Kolkata 9W 617 (Daily)

Spice Jet also operates flights from Kolkata & Delhi.

Indigo has also started direct/indirect flights to & from Delhi and Guwahati since April,

2009 end.Go Air has daily flights to and from Delhi.

All other cities major cities can be accessed by taking a flight to Delhi/Kolkata and

connecting.

You can take a prepaid taxi or shared jeep from Bagdogra to Darjeeling as explained below.

Getting to and from Nepal can be tricky, despite their close proximity. One can catch a

share jeep to Siliguri and a bus to the Nepalese border, changing buses in Nepal. An

alternative is that Juniper Tours and Travels - located just next to the clock tower in

Darjeeling offer a service where a driver can take you across the border and drop you at the

Bhadrapur airport in Nepal for your connecting flight to Kathmandu. It is more expensive

than organising your own transport but they make a concerted effort to look after you and

will help you out if the situation becomes dicey (particularly with strikes in Nepal), they

cannot be recommended highly enough and this is unusual for India.

By taxi/shared jeep [edit]

Siliguri is the nearest town connected to the mainline rail network. Ample t ransport is

available to Darjeeling from here. The most popular modes of transport are taxi (usually

shared by three to four passengers), shared jeep (ten passengers) @ 100-200 depending

on bargaining skill.

Shared jeeps depart regularly, from several locations around town. They are probably

cheapest at the main bus stand. They leave when full, and are a cheap and fast (but

uncomfortable as roads are poorly maintained) way to get to Darjeeling. An air conditioned

prepaid taxi will cost 1800 (as of December 2012) - if you can find people to share it with

you it will obviously be cheaper!

Toy Train of Darjeeling

If you have arrived by train at NJP, you can take a taxi or shared jeep to reach Darjeeling

from the booking counter at the taxi stand in front of the railway station. There is also a

prepaid taxi stand in front of the train station. Note that if you arrive too late for the jeep to

make a return journey from Darjeeling, you may end up paying more, e.g. 200 per person.

The prepaid counter will tell you that no jeeps are available, so you'll have to find one via a

fixer or by negotiating directly with drivers.

Tourists often opt to buy an extra seat or two to have more space for the 3 hour journey up

to Darjeeling! Luggage is carried for free on the roof. Jeeps may stop for a snack and toiletbreak on the way up (normally a few km short of Kurseong).

While going to Darjeeling from NJP, try to hire a Taxi/Jeep/Sumo with overhead carrier,

which has just arrived from Darjeeling, as this will be much cheaper if you hire a vehicle

which is going directly from NJP to Darjeeling.

Avoid any tour packages at NJP railway station. They will provide you lowest standard

hotel.

By bus [edit]

There is a regular bus service from Silguri to Darjeeling. However, they are quite slow due to

the steep, twisty climb up to Darjeeling. Shared jeeps are faster, but cost double: 200rs vs.

100rs for the bus (2015).

By train [edit]

The nearest railway station to Darjeeling is New Jalpaiguri which connects the city with all

the major parts of the country. There are a number of trains from cities like Kolkata, Delhi,

Guwahati, Chennai, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Bhubaneshwar and Kochi.

New Jalpaiguri (NJP),Siliguri is the nearest station on

the main inter-city line. Direct trains to NJP run from

Delhi (approx 27 hours) several times a day. If you are

traveling from Kolkata (Sealdah Station) the best train

for you will be Darjeeling Mail (circa 12 hours) running

nightly at 10:05PM.

From there (NJP), the famous Darjeeling Himalayan

Railway (DHR), known to all as the 'Toy Train'

completes the journey to Darjeeling. The Darjeeling

Himalayan Railway was the first, and is still the most

outstanding, example of a hill passenger railway.It is now listed as a World Heritage Site

declared by UNESCO.

This route is very popular with tourists as it passes through some very picturesque

mountain scenery and has been the subject of many romantic articles. The line has a

series of zig zags and loops to gain height and runs straight up several village main streets!

NJP to Darjeeling Toy Train service is suspended after railway track damage due to recent

earth-quake (September 2011). The service may not be restored until 2013. The train now

starts at Kurseong and terminates in Darjeeling Railway station though times are not fixed.

It is probably best not to rely entirely on this service rather reach Darjeeling by other means

and go for a joy ride if and when time permits. Collect enough information if you are

planning to reach Darjeeling by Toy Train.

The steam 'Joy' train operates from Darjeeling to Ghoom round the famous Batasia Loop,

four times a day – enquire at Darjeeling station. Costs 400. Website DHR: [2]

A steam train also operates Siliguri to 'Agony Point' above Tindharia most Saturdays andSundays. Enquire to Siliguri station. There is also a daily 'School Train' that leaves

Kurseong at 06:15 arriving Darjeeling at 08:45. It leaves Darjeeling at 16:00 arriving

Kurseong at 18:30. This is still hauled by a steam engine and is one of the last 'day to

day'/ordinary steam trains running anywhere in the world. IR keeps changing the times for it

and it is notoriously unreliable often running hours late.

Get around [edit]

Darjeeling is a small town and the salubrious climate means walks around town are anextremely enjoyable means of getting around. For longer trips, taxis are available in stands

near the entrance to the Mall.

Taxis and travel agents sell various tour packages based on "points" which are simply the

number of attractions covered. A 7-point package includes seven places to visit such as the

Himalayan Mountaineering Institute/Zoo, Cable Car, Peace Pagoda, etc and takes about 5

hours to complete with the driver waiting at each attraction. Price in April 2014 was Rs.

1,200 for a dedicated car. Numerous taxis also sell "Local Sightseeing" trips on a shared

basis with up to 10 travelers, in a Tata Sumo or Mahindra Bolero SUV.

Point-to-point dedicated taxi rides start at Rs. 150 for even short distances. The most

economical way is to flag a shared taxi. Rides are Rs. 10 for short distances and Rs. 20 for

longer distances. Traffic jams are common especially around the mall and bus station

areas. It may be easier to walk rather than sit in a crowded taxi.

A great way to spend a day is to take a shared-jeep to Ghoom (the next town up the ridge),

visit some monasteries there and walk back to Darjeeling via some of the villages.

Himalayan Mountaineering Institute(HMI),

(naveen), ☎ 09711100094, [3] . This Institute was

founded and managed by the late Tenzing Norgay

in 1953. Today, it has on display records of some

major expeditions undertaken. Next to this is the

Everest Museum, which traces the history ofdifferent attempts on the world's highest peak. You

may also contact the institute for mountaineering

Tiger Hill - Ideal to visit early morning when the

first rays of the sun kiss the Mt. Kanchenjunga and

give it a golden color. To visit the hill, one needs to

get up at 3AM in the morning. You can taste some

excellent tea on your way to the hill, which will

provide much needed warmth on cold Darjeeling

mornings. When getting into a taxi at 4AM keep in

mind that they are shared taxis and your driver

might wait around in vain for others to join your taxi

causing you to miss the sunrise! Those travelling

alone or as a couple might want to squeeze into an

already occupied jeep to insure full viewing

pleasure. Though it has an executive lounge (

40/- per person) and special lounge ( 30/- per person),

nothing beats having a view from open area, as you can

known as the “Makal-Babu-Ko-Thaan” in local area. It is said that a Red Hat Buddhist

guides, porters and accommodation on the trail can be made in Darjeeling or in the nearby

town of Manebhanjang, which serves as the trail-head. Be aware that from July to mid-

September the Singalia park is closed, but because of the rain, c louds and fog it is less

Singalila National Park, (west of Darjeeling, adjacent to Nepalese border ). Singalila is

a trekking destination in the far northwest corner of West Bengal state. Kanchenjunga,

the world's 3rd highest peak, is visible for much of the trek, to the north, on the

Nepalese border with Sikkim. Usually the park is accessed from Maneybhanjang,

approx. one hour, or 30 km. west of Darjeeling. The park can also be accessed from

Rimbik, where many trekkers finish up, or from Bijanbari, with one extra day's walking.

Trekkers must pay a 100rp fee to enter the park, and must hire a guide. Porters can

also be hired in Maneybhanjeng. Many trekkers sign up for a 3, 5 or 6 day trek in

Darjeeling, where various trekking companies make all of the arrangements. Passportsmust be carried, as the trek crosses briefly into Nepal, then back into India. Sleeping

bags and layered warm clothing are a must, as the temperature dips well below freezing

most nights. Overnight lodging is done at assorted huts or simple guesthouses along

the way, and hot meals are available at the same. Starting from Maneybhanjang, most

trekkers stay overnight in Gairbas or Kalipokhari, and press on to Sandakphu for the

2nd night. Sandakphu at 3636 meters, is a favorite spot to view the high Himalayan

peaks of LLotze, Everest, Makalu, etc., in early morning when visibility is good. 3 day

trekkers turn aside and head downhill to Rimbik for their final night, while others head

further north for spectacular views from Sabarkum and Phalut, then downhill for Raman,

and finish in Rimbik for the last night. For greater cash outlay, non-trekkers, or those

pressed for time can hire a jeep as transport from Maneybhanjang to Sandakphu, and

stay overnight to catch the sunrise views. The ideal time to visit is April or May, in

spring when the rhododendrons are in bloom, but Singalila can also be done in the fall,

after monsoon season. *Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. The Darjeeling Himalayan

Mountain Biking, [4] . Mountain biking is an adventure and the best way to explore

the beauty of any mountain or hilly area. This is the best way to explore the natural

Adventure lovers love to ride on these roads as they provide them the opportunities to

explore the natural beauty at their own with some adventure and thrill. edit

Darjeeling via the main road for 16 rupees. edit

Buy [edit]

Tea . Darjeeling is famous the world over for its teas, which are very aromatic and have a

delicate taste. Shops selling teas (usually owned by local tea gardens), dot the area in

and around the Mall, and at the Chowrasta. Golden Tips & Nathmulls are especially

known for their tea and also ship worldwide, but their prices are 3-4 times more

expensive than the shops on the road near Rink Mall. Stop by to smell the numerous

varieties they have to offer. 'Darjeeling Tea House' located just diagonal to Nathmulls is

also a good place to purchase tea.

Curio items pertaining to Tibetan and Himalayan cultures, such as thangkas,

miniature monasteries and garments made from yak wool. Shops are located in and

around the Rink Mall, Chowrasta and Darjeeling Local Haat.

of local oriental & Buddhist artefacts is located just opposite the General Post Office.

anyone who's feeble) but it's worth it. You'll need to pay a guide a small fee to show you

around the factory (around Rs.50-70) The best quality tea at the Happy Valley Tea

Estate is known as SFTGFOP (Super Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) -

seriously. Make sure you also visit the Happy Golden Cafe in the small shack-like

building nearby. Kusum is a very friendly lady who gets the tea from Happy Valley as

her family members work at the estate and get a weekly quota of the tea. She will show

you how it's made and will happily talk about the different varieties that are around.

Depending on availability, a cup of delicious SFTGFOP tea will set you back a mere

Rs.50 edit

Sleep [edit]

Darjeeling has a large number of hotels and lodges. However, on the whole, budget

accommodation is of poor value compared to elsewhere in India. Most places target groups

coming in from West Bengal; backpacker-oriented accommodation is sparse and you

probably won't get touts coming to pick you up at the bus stop so it pays to have a few

ideas in advance.

In general, avoid getting into deals with taxi drivers at Siliguri or NJP who offer attractive taxi

fares to Darjeeling in return for agreeing to stay at a hotel recommended by them. You can

do much better on hotel reservations on your own
