Turn back the clock to the British Raj. This route avoids the high peaks and focuses on heritage. Stay in colonial bungalows, ride the UNESCO World Heritage Toy Train, and walk through the silent pine forests of Dow Hill. It’s moody, misty, and smells of first-flush Darjeeling tea
Arrive at Bagdogra/NJP. We take the scenic Hill Cart Road, passing the heritage Toy Train tracks, to reach Darjeeling (6,700 ft). Check into your colonial-style room. The evening is free to walk the Mall Road, visit the Oxford Book Store, and sip tea at Glenary’s.
