A great place to travel!
A great place to travel! One can easily forget the horrible reality one has to face in his/her day to day life by coming here. The scenery and hospitality of the local people are just great. Will visit that place, very soon...

The Kamala Nehru Zoo and the Peace Pagoda are good.
The Kamala Nehru Zoo and the Peace Pagoda are good. The other destinations are not that great. The food options are varied. We liked the breakfast at Tom and Jerry and the Tibetan delicacies at a shop nearby. The mall is quite and nice to walk during morning.

The best part was just being there.
The best part was just being there. The weather, the beautiful surroundings. It was all very nice. The food in the hotel we stayed at had variety so there was no trouble there.
Getting around Darjeeling is not the best but if you have a good guide or hire a taxi driver who knows the place well, you'll have a good time. Try not to be impatient. The joy ride on the "UNESCO World Heritage" train, although extremely slow, would've been fun. We missed it because we couldn't book the tickets early on.

Except for a short walk through Chowrasta or Mall Road...
Except for a short walk through Chowrasta or Mall Road (frank ross cafe and Glenary's bakery are good), there is nothing in Darjeeling. If you've seen tea garden and factory elsewhere, even that's not worth vising again. It's all same everywhere. Darjeeling is not a clean looking city. Roads are too narrow and covering small distances takes lot of time.
The worst part is its local transportation. There is no local transport there. The toy train can be used but that's slow and not frequent. Even as a tourist attracton, toy train has lost its charm as route is not scenic anymore. Darjeeling has degraded as a destination. There are no local taxis, rickshaws. Even for small distance, you either walk or take a cab which does not ask less than 500 for innova (may be less for smaller vechicles) even to go only 2km. Its difficult with small children to walk too much and spend like this every time you want to go small distance! Taxis are not available for day packages like 8hr-80km etc.

Darjeeling is not what it used to be four decades ago.
Darjeeling is not what it used to be four decades ago. So know what you want from your trip.
We had a delightful experience by staying at Windamere at Observatory hill, taking some walks around,looking out at the mountain ranges and relaxing. The crowded, automobile smoke filled streets of the town and the much touted tourist spots are completely avoidable

People of Darjeeling are so good, they are kind, humble,...
People of Darjeeling are so good, they are kind, humble, polite and helping. You need at least 7 days to explore this city. Be aware from taxi drivers everyone has different rates you need to talk to at least 4-5 and need to bargaining.
“Location was convenient and picturesque. Hotel restaurant was nice - fried Tibetan bread was a highlight - and food prices were very reasonable. Room was only adequate but we paid very little for it.”
“Being the heritage house that it is, simply being there and staying in one of the rooms where Mallory, Sir Everest, Vivian Leigh and many more unforgettable names once spent time, but above that what I loved is that the house has been maintained very well, the coat of arms of the house, the old relics and every furniture seems to be from the old era, the period when this house was built. It's a nice experience if you love to spend a few days wrapped in a blanket of heritage and class.”
“Loved this place. Prob the best budget hotel I've stayed in India. Is VERY clean, comfortable and secure. The breakfast is amazing and the terrace has amazing views (when is not foggy). Not all rooms have heating but hot water bottles are provided in the evening. The beds are super comfy and location is great. Very quiet!”
