Overview
Bengal
West Bengal lies in the eastern part of India, a unique state which has the mighty Himalayan ranges up in the north and coastal areas down in its south side. The state has some of the most unique and alluring places to be discovered. Our 3 nights and 4 days trip to Farm Holiday Darjeeling aims to do just that and it will be a trip which is unique to say the least.
Farm holiday will give travellers the rustic feel of the village life in a rural setting, amidst the hills of Eastern Himalayas.
The entire tour of the village and experience of staying in an organic farm surrounded by tea gardens and overlooked by lofty mount Kanchenjunga is an experience that should not be missed.
Darjeeling is famous for its tea gardens, tea factories and toy trains. Some of the famous and memorable places to visit in Darjeeling are the M.G. Road or Mall Road where there are many places to eat and shop. You can enjoy local delicacies of the Darjeeling such as Momos, Thukpa and Dalle.
Tiger View point is just breathtaking and this place offers the best sunrise view that you can get in India. Ghoom Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in Darjeeling. It has a 15ft high statue of Maitreya Buddha and also houses several Buddhist manuscripts and texts.
