Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Darjeeling was a hill station during the British colonial period. These days the town still exudes a colonial charm, but visitors are mostly hikers, tea aficionados and tourists hoping to see Mt Everest (without necessarily climbing up it).
Visit one of the many tea plantations in the area to learn all about your daily cuppa, then enjoy high tea against a jaw-dropping Himalayan backdrop.
