A breezy three hour drive skirting forests from Bagdogra, and you will be greeted by Darjeeling and the rapturous beauty of the Kanchendzonga Range, appearing through the unending lines of oak and pine trees and orchids. Yet ather Raj hill station, "Dorje Ling" or Place of the Thunderbolt is alluring with its little villages, tiny waterfalls and the quixotic toy-train (a UNESCO World Heritage site). Kanchendzonga, the world's third highest peak, is the reason to be here. The splendours of the mountain peak shaking off the darkness of night in order to cover itself in gold and orange hues of a fresh dawn are to be watched in awe from Tiger Hill. Lush green tea bushes sloping down the hills, English cottages with antiquated windows and smoking chimneys, churches, the Ghoom monastery, Lloyd Botanical Garden, parks and Buddhist temples are the other alluring draws of this hill station. For a tryst with the Himalayas, the one place of its kind is Sinclairs Darjeeling. The strategically located Sinclairs offers an inspiring view of Kanchendzonga on a clear day. Memories of that will never leave you. A few minutes pleasant walk from the town square Chowrasta, the hotel invokes the charm of an old country house. If the Himalayas are the piece de resistance of Darjeeling's legendary charm, the hill station is full of magical beauties. Experience it all by being a guest at Sinclairs Darjeeling.
