At an elevation of 2134 from the vast unending plains of West Bengal lies the Queen of Hills that is known to the world as Darjeeling. The title “Queen of Hills” was given by the Britishers who were the colonial rulers of India. The beauty and the charm of Darjeeling appealed to them so much that they began to settle down here. The name Darjeeling has been derived from the word “Dorjee-Ling” which means the Land of the Thunder, a name that perfectly suits the place.
Darjeeling is a place that seems to have been painted right out of a fairy tale setting. The high rising snow covered mountains of the Kanchendzonga range paints the horizon, the dark green coloured tea gardens clothe the valleys and hillocks, fir, cedar, birch, magnolia and rhododendron trees line the winding roads, centuries old monasteries sanctify and bless the place, rain fed waterfalls cascade beside the roads, scenic views catch your eye from almost every place of the hill station, fresh clean air envelopes the entire place, and amazing trekking trails, rock climbing, river rafting make up the adventurous side. Such is Darjeeling the queen of hills.
