About Darjeeling - Where Mountains Meet the Sky
A Himalayan Gem
Darjeeling’s spectacular setting on a steep mountain ridge creates an amphitheater-like vista where verdant tea estates cascade down hillsides against the backdrop of snow-clad Himalayan giants. Our Darjeeling holiday packages reveal a destination where pristine natural beauty harmonizes with colonial heritage, Tibetan Buddhism, and vibrant Gorkha culture.
The Tea Capital of the World
With over 86 tea estates producing the legendary Darjeeling tea—often called the “Champagne of Teas”—this region has earned global recognition for its distinctive muscatel-flavored brew. Silver Star’s Darjeeling tour packages include visits to working tea estates where you can:
- Walk through terraced tea gardens with mountain views
- Watch skilled tea pluckers at work
- Tour tea factories to understand processing methods
- Learn about orthodox tea manufacturing
- Sample various grades and flushes of Darjeeling tea
- Purchase premium teas directly from estates
- Experience tea tasting sessions with experts
Rich Historical Legacy
Darjeeling’s colonial past is evident in its architecture, town planning, and cultural ethos. The British developed this region as a hill station and sanatorium in the 1800s, leaving behind:
- Victorian and Gothic-style buildings
- Colonial-era clubs and churches
- The famous Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (1881)
- Tea plantation culture
- English-medium educational institutions
- Mall Road shopping culture
Our heritage-focused Darjeeling travel packages explore this fascinating colonial legacy alongside local traditions.
