Darjeeling tour with friends-part 1

in #travel7 years ago

Hi steemtians,Today I am sharing my tour experience to Darjeeling.
Darjeeling is a town in India's West Bengal state of India, in the Himalayan foothills. Once a summer resort for the British Raj elite, it remains the terminus of the narrow-gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, or “Toy Train,” completed in 1881. It's famed for the distinctive black tea grown on plantations that dot its surrounding slopes. Its backdrop is Mt. Kanchenjunga, among the world’s highest peaks.
We had visited the hill station in December 2014 with my friends. I am sharing some flicks of tour.
