Darjeeling, nestled in the eastern Himalayas, is famed for its tea estates, mountain vistas, and the nostalgic Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (toy train). Known affectionately as the “Queen of the Hills,” it exudes colonial charm and alpine calm.
Tea gardens slope across hills, with pickers in terraces, mist drifting, and rows of green against sky. The toy train chugs through curves, loops, and tunnels, revealing panorama and heritage. Tiger Hill and Sunrise Viewpoints deliver dawn spectacles over peaks like Kangchenjunga.
Markets, hill station bazaars, colonial bungalows, and narrow lanes carry both visitor and local rhythm. Forest trails, monasteries, and altitude air balance the green slopes with wilderness edges.
With Atlas Tours, your Darjeeling itinerary includes train ride booking, tea garden walks, viewpoint climbs, lodging in hillside lodges, and pacing to avoid altitude fatigue. Whether drawn to tea aroma, Himalayan peaks, or railway nostalgia, Darjeeling invites you into a mist-kissed Himalayan retreat.
