    You may enjoy a variety of activities here, such as drinking tea at the picturesque tea gardens and riding a toy train through the highlands. Go ahead and have a look at our selection of the top 5 locations to visit in Darjeeling.

     

    Batasia Loop

    In Darjeeling, this junction’s historical significance makes it a popular tourist destination. Keep your cameras close by since the gorgeously adorned garden area makes for a great photo background. The well-known toy train may be seen looping over the rails as well.

     

    Additionally, Batasia has an Eco Garden where you may learn about Darjeeling’s organic plants and farming practices. The garden is also home to a variety of rare plant species.

     

    To honour the Gorkha warriors who gave their lives in battle, the War Memorial in Batasia’s centre was constructed in 1995.

     

    Peace Pagoda

    The Peace Pagoda, which is perched atop Charlimont Hill, is embellished with Buddha statues and Japanese wall art. It is definitely worthwhile to stop by during the prayer service at this serene location on Jalapahar Road!

     

    It is one of the 30 pagodas in the globe that Japanese Buddhist monk Nichidatsu Fujii founded in order to advance peace and harmony across the world.
