Darjeeling black tea

Darjeeling was once the former summer capital during British rule in India, and it is no longer one of the most popular hill stations in the country. Located in West Bengal, this picturesque hill station is a perfect destination for a romantic honeymoon. Situated at an altitude of 2,050 meters, Darjeeling is surrounded by vast tea plantations and enjoys a cool climate year-round.

The toy train, established in 1881, has been awarded the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The train departs from the plains and ascends to over 2,000 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking views of the mountains along the way.

Darjeeling is home to over 86 tea gardens that produce the world-renowned "Darjeeling tea." Enjoy a cup of locally brewed Indian tea in the tea gardens or pick a few tea leaves in the plantations—your choice is yours to make.

From here, you can see Kangchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak and the highest mountain in India, with a panoramic view of the summit. Popular attractions in Darjeeling include temples, botanical gardens, a zoo, and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, which features the longest cable car ride in Asia. Tiger Hill is an excellent spot to watch the sunrise.
