Darjeeling
Darjeeling is a town in India's West Bengal state, 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.
Kanchenjunga Peak
Kangchenjunga, also spelled Kanchenjunga, Kanchenjunga and Khangchendzonga, is the third-highest mountain in the world.
Ghoom Monastery
It is one of the oldest and most popular Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the region of Darjeeling and also one of the must visit places in Darjeeling. Yiga Choe ling Monastery was established in 1850 CE by the Mongolian astrologer and monk Sokpo Sherab Gyatso, who was the head of the monastery until 1905 CE.
Tenzing Rock
Tenzing and Gombu rocks are situated on Lebong Cart Road and face opposite to each other. The huge Tenzing rock is named after Tenzing Norgay, who was famous for climbing the Mount Everest accompanied by Edmund Hillary in the year 1953.
Gangtok
Gangtok is the capital of the mountainous northern Indian state of Sikkim. Established as a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the 1840s, the city became capital of an independent monarchy after British rule ended, but joined India in 1975. Today, it remains a Tibetan Buddhist center and a base for hikers organizing permits and transport for treks through Sikkim’s Himalayan Mountain ranges.
Bakthang Waterfalls
Bakthang Waterfall is not vertically imposing. However, its broad horizontal flow is what makes it extremely beautiful. Fed by the Ratey Chu (river) that originates at a staggering 12,500ft, this waterfall is the perfect pit stop whether you're travelling alone or with the family.
Lhasa Waterfalls
The waterfall is named after the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, and is said to be a sacred site by the local people. The waterfall is about 100 feet tall, and the water flows down a steep cliff face. The water is crystal clear, and the surrounding area is lush and green.
Changu Lake
It is known for its tranquil surroundings and peaceful ambience, making it an ideal place for meditation and spiritual contemplation. Tibetan style inspires the architecture of Gonjang Monastery, and the prayer hall houses a statue of Guru Rinpoche or Padmasambhava, the Indian sage who introduced Buddhism to Tibet.
