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.
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.
