Darjeeling: Over 150, years ago, Darjeeling was established as Health Station, after the Sikkim ruler gifted it to the British. It grew into one of the most famous hill stations in India, regularly drawing people for its cool climate, the fantastic backdrop of some of the highest snow clad peaks of the Himalayas, and a very gracious life- style. Not only did people flock to Darjeeling ( The Land Of The Celestial Thunderbolt), to escape the heat of the plains during the summer months, but also to celebrate winter. Though Darjeeling has a great deal to offer all round the year, the most popular periods the Season are from April to June, and from September to December. The neglected Rainy Season has its own unique charms with mists and clean landscapes giving a totally different perspective to Darjeeling's Delights.

There has been a revival of sorts during the last few years which has resulted in some change for the better. There has been a general up-gradation of the Hotel product with better facilities and accommodation. The Toy Train is said to be all set to steam into World Heritage.

Darjeeling has special delights in store for people with special interest including Nature, photography, trekking, tea, botany, ornithology and the arts. The annual Teesta Tea & Tourism Festival is held in winter in conjunction with the Dooars and Sikkim.
