    • Visit the colonial hill stations around Darjeeling
    • Whilst Darjeeling was originally an army camp at the beginning of the Raj era, it expanded rapidly with the introduction of the tea industry. This region of the Indian Himalaya was popular with the early British colonists largely due to the heat, with hill stations the only escape in the hot summer months. The colonial buildings here really are a feature, whilst in the tea plantations one can relive the way of life of the British Raj.
