The ribbons of emerald green tea plantation festoon the beauty of the majestic Khangchendzonga in West Bengal's star attraction, Darjeeling. This tea town tucked neatly in the Lesser Himalayas has always magnetized a traveler's mind and soul with its natural charm. A chhuk-chhuk ride on the Toy Train here takes the traveler to picturesque settings that treat the eyes as well as the nose. Still untouched by modernization, this quaint town acts as an abode for all the travelers going soul-searching in the hills. The overall old-world charm of this hilly town increases, as the travelers witness the amazing colonial-era architecture dotting its natural beauty.
The British discovered this little town, nestled away in the lap of Khangchendzonga, in the mid-19th century and were so amazed by its beauty that they made it their summer capital. The colonial-era architecture, reflected in the schools, town buildings, welfare centers, and even the houses of Darjeeling, reminisce the bygone era. Before the British discovered this quaint town, it was a beauty lying under the control of the Kingdom of Sikkim. Soon, the tea estates of Darjeeling became popular and this hidden town became a popular tourist retreat.

A day spent gazing at the majestic Khangchendzonga range is something every traveler yearns for in their Darjeeling Tour Packages to provide relaxation to the mind, body, and soul. In addition to that, all the travelers also look for a retreat in the lush greenery spread across the steep mountain ridge in their Darjeeling Holiday Packages.
