Re: Darjeeling Visit
As you have asked about the places to see during the Darjeeling visit, I am mentioning some of them (1) Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) and the amazing Darjeeling Zoo HMI is a destination by itself and a said to be a pilgrimage for all climbing enthusiasts of the world. (2) Tiger Hill Located at the highest point in Darjeeling area, Tiger Hill is best known for the dazzling sunrise view of the Kanchenjunga and the snow covered peaks of the entire eastern Himalayan range. (3) Batasia Loop Located 5km from Darjeeling Town and just below Ghoom, Batasia Loop as the name suggests, is a loop or a spiral of a narrow gauge railway track where the Toy Train negotiates a sudden sharp descent from Ghoom. (4) Darjeeling Ropeway (5) Darjeeling Mall (Chowrasta) The Chowrasta or the Mall is the town center in Darjeeling. (6) Rock Garden & Ganga Maya Park These two are scenic parks in wonderful settings located a few miles away from the Darjeeling town. (7) Japanese Temple & Peace Pagoda About 10 minutes by car, you will reach a wonderful area that is symbolic of peace and tranquility. (8) Bengal Natural History Museum (9) Observatory Hill and Mahakal Temple (10) Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre This centre was established on October 2nd, 1959 for rehabilitation of Tibetans who followed Dalai Lama and escaped their homeland during the period of mayhem. In order to sustain living, they adopted the principle of self-help. |
