The home is a good starting point for exploring the Darjeeling region. You can see the Kanchenjunga range at first light from Tiger Hill, a popular viewpoint just 11km away. Plan for an early start to beat the crowds. For a taste of the area's most famous export, visit the working tea gardens at Happy Valley or Glenburn tea estates for tours and tastings.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a slow, scenic joyride on its famous toy train. The two-hour Ghum loop is a classic experience. For serious trekkers, the Singalila ridge trek starts from nearby, leading to Sandakphu for its five-peak view of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, and Kabru. Back in town, the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park and the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (once home to Tenzing Norgay) are right next to each other and worth a visit.
The nearest airport is Bagdogra (IXB), about 90km away. The drive to Darjeeling takes around 3 hours, with routes via Mirik or Kurseong. The main broad-gauge railhead is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), 88km away, which connects the region to the rest of India. From NJP, you can hire a car for the 3-hour drive up. Siliguri, the main town in the plains (75km away), is the hub for shared jeeps to Darjeeling and Kalimpong. The historic Darjeeling toy train station is in town, offering a much slower but very scenic connection from the plains.
The best time to visit is from October to mid-June, when the skies are clear and the weather is pleasant. The monsoon season runs from late June through September. During these months, heavy rains can cause landslides, leading to road closures on the main highways like NH10 and the Pankhabari road. Travel during July and August can sometimes involve delays.
