DARJEELING:

There is no other place in the world then to steep you in the grandeur and beauty of the towering snowcapped mountains. From numerous points in the town you get view of the mountains that are scarcely rivalled in any part of the world. Set against the majestic backdrop of the great Himalayas, there is a lovely verdure everywhere-evergreen woods, firs and pines. Even the institutions, museums, botanical and zoological gardens of Darjeeling offer delightful experiences to visitors.
