Darjeeling is at once, both old and new. The
cosmopolitan town itself has come a long way since its modest beginnings in
1835. The new includes modern amenities, first class hotels, comprehensive
shopping centers; some of India’s most famous boarding-schools, cinema halls
and the world’s most sought trekking trails Darjeeling has four seasons
Spring, Monsoon, Autumn and Winter. After a short and cold winter, spring
comes gracefully in as blessing. Gentle mists occasionally mingled with
light rain take the place of the heavy winter fog. The sky though never
completely clear of clouds is still clear enough to give succession of cool
calm days. It is during these months - April to June that Darjeeling enjoys
the first tourist season. The whole town is ablaze with colour; in every
garden small Gladioli, Tiger Lillies, Hydrangeas, Sweet Peas, Corn flowers,
Roses and Dahlias, all combine to deck Darjeeling out as the real “Queen'.
This is the time of the year, too, when the various mountaineering
expeditions set out, on the trail of high adventure.
