What our travelers think about their stay

Darjeeling, perched in the Himalayas, offers you another glimpse of India. Here, everything seems different: the faces, the customs, and appearances. It's almost as if we were in another country.

My suggestion

Are you a fan of tea? You won't be disappointed because Darjeeling is known for this drink! In order to have it the Indian way, get a masala chai, a delicious tea with spices in the water and milk. Light and sweet enough.

My suggestion

Try to find accommodation in the higher levels of the town, where cars are banned and it will make your stay more enjoyable.

Darjeeling, which has long been home to the most famous tea plantations in the world, is located in the Indian state of West Bengal, on the border with Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal.

My suggestion

The legendary "Toy Train" linking the stations of New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling is something not to be missed. I also strongly recommend a trip to the village of Makaibari to see the region's first completely organic tea factory.
