Darjeeling is known as the Queen of the Himalayas or Queen of the Hills and sits at an altitude of 2134 metres in the Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalaya surrounded by tea plantations. People have been coming here since the mid-1800s to escape the heat of the northern Indian plains and you'll find a huge number and variety of hotels, guest cottages and shacks in which to stay.
