Darjeeling is situated at the foothills of the Himalayas, at an elevation of 3,000 meters above sea level. It is famous for its tea, as well as its abundance of private schools in the tradition of British public schools.

Darjeeling is used as a base by many trekkers to the Himalayas. Tenzing Norgay, one of the two men to first climb Mount Everest, grew up in the Sherpa community in Darjeeling.

The town of Darjeeling can be reached by the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, nicknamed the “toy train.” The railway is one of only two in the world to be declared a world heritage site by Unesco.

Take the toy train and climb Everest. Only in unbelievable India!
