Top Local Tips for Darjeeling

Take a ride on the train If you don't have the time to do the full trip on the train to Darjeeling, book a short round-trip to Ghoom. It runs twice a day and costs 240 Rs.

An amazing place of wordhip Take the time to take the short walk up to the temple located above the Windamere on Observatory Hill. The temple contains both Hindu and Buddhist elements; in one building, priests of both faiths are conducting rituals within meters of each other in harmony. The faithful remove their shoes at the entrance.....you can keep it on unless you actually enter the buildings.

Registering When you arrive at the closest airport, Bagdogra, register your arrival in Darjeeling with the policeman on duty at the airport. He will be sitting at a desk there, and will quite happily stamp your passports. If you don't do this, you will have to go register in Darjeeling at some point during your stay.
