Well I came with another best honeymoon spot.Yes you read it right, queen of Himalayas. Darjeeling is called as queen of Himalayas.
Jaw dropping sunrises, untouched beauty of locales and Himalayas and a
lot more add up to make the beautiful Hill Station of India Darjeeling.
Its cold climate is due to its location located 2 km above sea level.
Best time to visit?
I suggest you visit Darjeeling during April - June, however many souls even visit during winter too.
Don’t forget to visit the following places:
The Tiger Hill:
If you want to
witness the first rays of sun hitting the twin peaks of Kangchenjunga, along
with a panoramic view of Everest peeping through the peaks standing by its
side, then Tiger Hills make for a perfect sunrise for you.
Darjeeling Ropeway:
Darjeeling Rope way is a cable car circuit where one can witness a myriad of exquisite landscapes, from the glorious snow-capped mountains to the charming valley replete with verdant tea estates.
BATASIA LOOP:
Located around
5 km from Darjeeling, Batasia loop is a spiral railway track where the toy
train takes a complete 360 degree turn. The toy train descends by 1,000 ft. as
it completes the loop through a large circular area.
Darjeeling himalayan railways:
A visit to the
city of Darjeeling is incomplete without a joyride at the Darjeeling Himalayan
Railway toy train. Moving at a snail pace over the hilly terrain, it is an
experience no one wants to miss.
Himalayan mountaineering institute:
The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute,
commonly known as HMI Darjelling, was established on November 4, 1954 primarily
to encourage mountaineering as an organized sport in India. HMI regularly
conducts Adventure, Basic and Advanced levels of mountaineering courses which
are very comprehensive courses. These courses are highly subsidised to
encourage mountaineering as a sport.
Nightingale park:
This park was earlier called 'The Shrubbery' when it was a private courtyard. The park was closed for renovation for about four years and has reopened for public since 2011. There is a giant statue of Lord Shiva, a musical fountain along with the great scenery.
Sandakphu Trek:
Sandakphu Peak (11,941 Feet) is the highest peak in West Bengal. The highest peak of Singalila Ridge in Darjeeling district, almost near the border of Nepal, it is located very close to Singalila National Park.
Darjeeling peace pagoda:
As you climb up from Clubside along Gandhi and AJC Bose roads, you see this glistening white structure standing out - that's the Peace Pagoda. The Peace Pagoda, one of the 70 odd such structures built under the guidance of Japanese monk Nichidatsu Fujii, is worth a visit during the daily Pujas.
River rafting in teesta:
White Water
Rafting in the River Teesta is one of the most exciting things to do in
Darjeeling. A favourite among the adventure junkees, the rafting has a series
of rapids ranging from Grade 1 to 4. However, the difficult rapids are only allowed
to the professionals or the seasonal trainers as it is risky. You should
definitely try this activity when in Darjeeling.
