Darjeeling is the queen of the hills for a reason. You can start before dawn with a drive to Tiger Hill, just 11km away, to see the first light hit the peak of Kanchenjunga. For a taste of the region's most famous export, visit working tea gardens like Happy Valley or Glenburn for a tour and tasting.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a two-hour joyride on the toy train through the Ghum loop - a slow, scenic journey through the hills. For trekkers, the Singalila ridge trek starts from nearby, leading to Sandakphu for its famous five-mountain panorama 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.
By Air: The nearest airport is Bagdogra (IXB), about 90km away. The drive to Darjeeling takes around 3 hours via the scenic routes through Mirik or Kurseong.
By Rail: New Jalpaiguri (NJP) is the main railhead for the region, located 88km from Darjeeling. From NJP, you can hire a taxi. For a more historic journey, the Darjeeling toy train connects with the mainline and offers a slow but beautiful ride up the hills.
By Road: Siliguri (75km) is the main transport hub in the plains, with frequent shared jeeps and private taxis heading to Darjeeling. Darjeeling town itself is the central hub for exploring the surrounding hills, including Kalimpong, which is a 50km drive away.
The clearest skies and most pleasant weather are from October to mid-June. This is the ideal time for mountain views and trekking. The monsoon season runs from late June to September. While the hills are lush and green, the heavy rains often bring landslides, which can cause closures on the main highways like NH10 and the Pankhabari road.
