Sikkim / Darjeeling When the Maharaja of Sikkim gifted it to the British Governor General Bentinck "out of friendship in the 1800s, the British turned Darjeeling into a hill station. Now, almost two centuries later, The Queen of Hill Stations entices thousands of visitors to its fairy tale environs and leaves no one discontented. Once you leave the sweltering plains of West Bengal and start climbing up, you will begin to see the lofty green promontories ahead of you which will give you the feeling that you are entering an altogether different world. Brilliant red rhododendrons, Charmin white magnolias and majestic pines welcome you to this paradise. And all the while, the hill slopes descend in gentle waves of green tea bushes. All around you are sequestered vales and dales with sparkling streams, rivulets and gushing gorges. An intoxicating experience to be cherished for ever. You can also enjoy a ride on the old toy train that finds its way uphill from Siliguri in the plains to the town of Darjeeling. While here, you can enjoy the bustling sights and sounds of a small hill town/city as well as go for adventure outings further afield. Tour To Sikkim Darjeeling SIKKIM/DARJEELING/KALIMPONG
