Find Hotels in Darjeeling, India

who wouldn't mind embarassing tourist if they don't buy anything. Roads are crowded and ruined by pollution by huge number of cars (which are mainly for tourist purpose). There aren't any proper parking space, so all the cars have to park on the road size making it impossible for traffic to move and leading to traffic jams. I wish there was proper attention given to the city and make it as wonderful as it should be, it could be!

Offers opportunity to also go sight seeing to places nearby - Jorepokhari, Lepchajagat, sunrise over the Tiger Hill, a ride on the famous toy train, the Japanese Pagoda & Temple, various monasteries, the Tibetan Refugee Self-Help Centre, which are a must try for any visitor. Choose your hotel carefully for best views and location and enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the people of Darjeeling. For kids, a pony ride on the Mall is fun.

There are enough sight seeing activities to fill several days - train, tea gardens, zoo and Himalayan Mountain Institute, waling the Mall and enjoying lunch in an old colonial hotel. Catch the views of the Himalayas - the Kanchenjunga range. Expect to walk a lot, up and down quite steep streets and steps as well as on the horizontal. Shop for tea, clothing particularly warm clothing) and nic-nacs. If you have more time go trekking too.
