About Darjeeling
Darjeeling’s appeal reaches beyond the town into steep tea gardens, forested ridges and, on clear days, views of Kangchenjunga. Tea, Mountains and Rhinos begins with three nights at Glenburn Tea Estate, giving time to understand the leaf from plantation to cup. A day in Darjeeling adds the Himalayan Railway and the town’s mountain history before the route continues into Sikkim.
Best time to visit: March to April and October to November for the journey’s spring and autumn character. Mountain views depend on cloud; winter fog can disrupt travel.
Worth arranging
- Working tea gardens and an estate tasting
- Himalayan views when the clouds clear
- A ride on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, subject to operations
