Darjeeling - General
Information

Darjeeling conjures
visions of serenity, of vibrant green hills steeped in
splendour, a land of breathtaking beauty crowned by the
majestic Himalayas.
Darjeeling is one of the most magnificent hill resorts
in the world. This heavenly retreat is bathed in hues of
every shade. The flaming red rhododendrons, the
sparkling white magnolias, the miles of undulating
hillsides covered with emerald green tea bushes, the
exotic forests of silver fir – all under the blanket of
a brilliant azure sky dappled with specks of clouds,
compellingly confounds Darjeeling as the QUEEN OF HILL
STATIONS.
Darjeeling – the name is derived from the Tibetan word
‘Dorje’ which means the precious stone or ecclesiastical
scepter, which is emblematic of the thunderbolt of Indra
and ‘ling’ – a place, hence the land of the thunderbolt.
The scepter of Indra is believed to have fallen at a
place where now stands the Observatory Hill.
Darjeeling beckons thousand today for a leisurely
respite from the bustle of the madding crowd. The
traveler – whether a tourist or a trekker, an
ornithologist or a photographer, a botanist or an artist
– will find in Darjeeling an experience which will
remain etched.
MAJOR ATTRACTION
Darjeeling Himalayan Railway – 'WORLD HERITAGE'
This locomotive with little changes still running over
hundred years as Toy Train. The train gains its gradient
with the help of loops and zigzags, is a marvel of
engineering feat. The highest point in this line is
Ghoom Railway Station which is 7407 ft. The journey
takes more than 7 hours and line passes through green
forests and tea gardens. A must for the steam locomotive
enthusiast. Diesel Engine has been introduced on 21st
May, 2000 from Darjeeling to NJP and vice versa. |
