General info and history

Darjeeling is an eminent hill resort gifting an incredible vista of the bountiful peaks of the magnificent Himalayas. The word Darjeeling is made up of two words, which are ‘Dorje’ and ‘Ling’. ‘Dorge’ means ‘thunderbolt’ and ‘ling’ means place. By combining these two words the meaning of the word Darjeeling comes out to be – “the land of thunderbolt”. The vision of Kanchenjunga and Mount Everest are predominantly awe-inspiring. The luxuriant vegetation is a tourist’s paradise. The supreme blend of tea comes from a variety of tea gardens of this region. Darjeeling, the so-called dreamland of the East, has been a popular hill station since the British period.
