Best Places to Visit in Darjeeling in Two Days

We had booked the rail tickets two months ahead of the trip, end of October which was the usual tourist time in Darjeeling and we booked hotel & packages. Our main intention for this trip was to experience the beautiful hills. Green everywhere, mountains with cloud hats, tea gardens carpeting the rolling hills, waterfalls as embellishment, blue sky, cool breeze, hot green tea with a hint of lemon etc … I have read many books too.. Like Mountains hiding behind the mist, grey sky, invisible valleys, relentless rain, was the reality during my visit in late October.

Tiger Hill sunrise

After freshening up we started to venture out … booked a shared cab for Tiger Hill sunrise. Next morning we went running to the taxi stand from the hotel at 4:00 AM to reach the summit of Tiger Hill to witness the sunrise over Magnificent Mt K. It was indeed stunning! What was more surprising was the crowd … ocean of people and the cars parked along the road for KMs … People were shouting and laughing, smoking and shivering, just to watch golden Mt. K at sunrise.

Toy train visit

After breakfast, we went to get a ticket for the Toy train. Later visited Ava Art Gallery. Very impressive embroidery pictures, I like them all, they are superb!
Then we went to The Darjeeling Rock Gardens a garden around natural waterfalls. There is a cave shrine where one can see huge snakes, well they are not real of course 🙂 Next day we went walking up to see the Japanese peace pagoda Beautiful structure in the midst of green was built under the guidance of a Japanese Buddhist monk. The stupa has stone images narrating stories and also the Buddha images … infant, meditating, teaching and reclining. Very peaceful place.

Mahakal Mandir

we went to mahakal Mandir as well, it’s very famous in Darjeeling.
And then shopping ahhhh the best part. I shopped a lot of woolen garments as they are much cheaper than what we normally get in our city and the yummy tasty thing which u will discover there is mouth-watering titora. I bought them for all my friends, relatives it’s simply tasty. I enjoyed a lot with my family out there, you can also experience the wonderful hills and all.

    Waaaah! I would love to explore the north east more someday. I’ve only visited a few places there, that too for only a day or two – not enough time at all to let the place sink in.

      Notice you only stated an opinion without any fact to back it up. Just because your Liberal plantation overlord told you something do2;8&#ne17st mean repeating it mindlessly makes it true.
