Darjeeling
Darjeeling (West Bengal), known as India's tea capital, is one of the best places for a honeymoon. It is known as the Queen of Hill Stations and offers a breathtaking view of the Kanchenjunga range. Darjeeling's scenic beauty, ancient forests, quaint houses, friendly people, and snow-capped mountains all draw couples.
The romantic journey begins with a fairy tale ride on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as toy trains (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), which still has a few steam engines in operation. The breathtaking view from Tiger Hill's sunset point is breathtaking. At a breathtaking height of approximately 2590 meters above sea level, it feels as if one is above the clouds. On a clear sunny day, Mount Everest can be seen from here.
Couples can explore the Khangchendzonga National Park, the Batasia Loop, the Ghoom Monastery, the botanical garden, and the tea gardens. Visit the Rock Garden and Peace Pagoda in Darjeeling, or take part in river rafting, trekking, and long leisurely walks. For a breathtaking view of Darjeeling, take a ride on the ropeway. Foodies must not miss Keventer's evening snack and Glenary's breakfast. The best months to travel to Darjeeling are March through May and September through November.
