Darjeeling , a town
in the Indian state of West Bengal is not only famous for producing the best quality of tea on earth but also a popular tourist destination on earth. It is
located in the Mahabharat Range or Lesser Himalaya at an average elevation of
6,710 ft (2,045.2 m). It is noted for its tea industry and the Darjeeling
Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Darjeeling is the headquarters
of Darjeeling district which has a partially autonomous status within the state
of West Bengal.
Darjeeling is the main town of the Sadar subdivision and
also the headquarters of the district. It is located in the Darjeeling Himalayan hill region on the
Darjeeling-Jalapahar range that originates in the south from Ghum ,the highest railway station on earth. The range is
Y-shaped with the base resting at Katapahar and Jalapahar and two arms
diverging north of the Observatory Hill. The north-eastern arm dips suddenly
and ends in the Lebong spur, while the north-western arm passes through North
Point and ends in the valley near Tukver Tea Estate. The hills are nestled
within higher peaks and the snow-clad Himalayan ranges tower over the town in
the distance.
Kanchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak, 8,598 m (28,209 ft)
high, is the most prominent mountain visible. In days clear of clouds, Nepal's
Mount Everest, 29,029 ft (8,848 m) high, can be seen.
Here is few snaps captured by myself. Expect YOU'll love these.
