Darjeeling

This is vividly reflected at the shrine atop the Observatory Hill where Hindus and Buddhists pray together. Gorkhas, Tibetans, Lepchas and migrants from the plains have made Darjeeling their home. Though Nepalese, Hindi and Bengali are widely spoken, almost everyone understands English.


Situated at an altitude of 2134 meters above sea level, Darjeeling, "The land of Thunderbolt" has been a popular hill station ever since the British established it as a rest and recreation center for their troops. Blessed with a cool climate, it has, perhaps, the most stunning views of the Kanchenjunga range. With about 100,000 inhabitants, it has a mixed population of various races and religions living in prefect harmony. This is vividly reflected at the shrine atop the Observatory Hill where Hindus and Buddhists pray together. Gorkhas, Tibetans, Lepchas and migrants from the plains have made Darjeeling their home. Though Nepalese, Hindi and Bengali are widely spoken, almost everyone understands English.
