The mighty Himalayas and the Kanchenjanga can be viewed at close quarters from Pelling. Here is a magnificent view of the twin pronged section of the Kanchenjunga (also spelt Kanchenjanga or Kanchendzonga) right out of our hotel room early one morning. You could stand and stare and stare, but not for long: my bad experience with mountain scenes is the sudden cloud cover: the magnificent view disappears behind clouds in a matter of seconds

DARJEELING: Standing high in the Himalayas at an altitude of 2134m, 'Dorje Ling', or place of the Thunderbolt, offers breathtaking views of snow capped mountain peaks, with the Kanchendzonga rising higher than all the
others. Often referred to as the "Queen of the Hills", it remains just as
alluring with its tiny waterfalls, little villages and a narrow gauge
railway track. Surrounded by World Famous Tea Gardens and snow capped mountains, Darjeeling remains one of the most exotic
destinations. Graeme Westlake in his book 'An introduction to hill
stations on India' refers to Darjeeling as having "A view Scarcely
Unrivalled on Earth". |
