The ‘Queen of Hills’, Darjeeling is arguably the most popular tourist destination in northeast India. This hill town attracts travellers of varied interests. In the early 19th century, during East India Company rule in India, Darjeeling was identified as a potential summer retreat for British officials, soldiers and their families. The narrow mountain ridge was leased from the Kingdom of Sikkim, and eventually annexed to British India. Experimentation with growing tea on the slopes below Darjeeling was highly successful. By the late-19th century, a novel narrow-gauge mountain railway, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, was bringing summer residents into the town and carrying a freight of tea out for export to the world. You will bike through the town as well as the surroundings of picturesque nature trails, dense cedar forests in the region and reaching altitude of ~2300 M and zig zagging across the narrow gauge railway line.
