Darjeeling is a hill station in the state of West
Bengal in India. It is a picturesque place that is frequented by a
large number of tourists from all over the world all around the year.
Darjeeling originated from a cluster of a few villages that were
administered on an intermittent basis by both Sikkim and also Nepal. As
a result, the Darjeeling culture has a humble start.
This has given rise to a rich cultural glory of
Darjeeling. Darjeeling made its presence felt in the world during the
19th century. This was the time it was recognized by British
imperialists to be an ideal region for growing tea plantations. It was
later annexed as a part of the British Indian Empire. A tiny railway
line was constructed in the year 1881 to boost the town’s growth and
the prosperity.
Darjeeling is a perfect summer retreat for a
tourist. It gives a great break from a regular life. The Darjeeling
culture has rich roots and is still being fostered in the state. The
result is the rich cultural glory of Darjeeling that is present in the
town. As a result of a Victorian planning, the town of Darjeeling is a
great asset to the state and also engineering.
