Queen of the Himalayas
Monday, October 27th, 2008The one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once-by even a glimpse would not give that glimpse for the shows of the rest of the world combined - is what Mark Twain said about natural beauty of some place. Although Kashmir with its gardens, lakes, mountains and pilgrim spots is known as Paradise on Earth; none can really match the warm welcome extended by the Queen of Himalayas, Darjeeling.
It produces the famous Darjeeling Tea, one of the world’s finest teas. It is also home to the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a World Heritage Site. Nestled among the rolling mountains with the glistening Mt Kanchenjunga towering over the azure sky, Darjeeling provides a perfect gateway for those seeking to be in harmony with nature. Apart from its natural beauty provides a wide variety of activities from leisurely scenic walks to more grueling activities such as trekking and river rafting for the adventurous ones. This is the land of the muscatel flavoured Darjeeling tea revered by connoisseurs across the globe.
