Darjeeling is the place where the hills has no limit to caress the sky .A place where a complete balance of nature mesmerised the city so beautifully .I went to darjeeling many times as it is just located in the state of west bengal as district and it is just 9 hours journey from Kolkata ,West Bengal where i resided .
This small city had long history but in brief i would say, this is a gift made by British who administered India for many years .That time in 1800 century , British has full phase trade business in east part of India where the weather was quite hot in almost summer and autumn season so British explored this location and developed as liveable city where weather always become cold . Actually British had lot of intention to develop this place as it was great hub for tea production .
Anyways , i am not going deep in History and let's enjoy the blog .
