Tourist Guide Darjeeling:

Darjeeling is a city in the Indian state of West Bengal. It translates into ‘the land of the thunderbolt’. Popularly known as the ‘Queen of the Hills’, the city is home to a population of more than 100,000 inhabitants. It is famous for its Darjeeling Tea and also the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.

Darjeeling is blessed with a temperate climate with extremely mild summers and chilling winters. Snowfall is rare but mist and fog blanket the city regularly. High rainfall is also a common event.

Darjeeling was the favoured hill-station of the British during the British Raj. It was merged with West Bengal after the independence of India. Today, the most important components of Darjeeling’s economy are tourism and the tea industry, with the latter being the largest employer in the hills.

Darjeeling has stood firm so far in its past glory. I believe its high time that Darjeeling revamps itself and comes up with major plans to upgrade its over all setting to come to the standards that are developing everywhere in terms of roads, cleanliness, shopping areas, crowd dispersion, parks, transportation, awareness as to respect towards traffic rules, public places, social obligations to keeping the place pristine in its setting and more.

Its so beautiful place for tourism but there are no facilitiese of healthy roads/rootes... There are dirty behaviour of hotel's agent and managers. I like too local Gorkha residents of Darjeeling, Hils, tea garden, nature, Mong and weather with Toy-train. Thanks a lot.

Crowdy but it could be possible to manage the traffic rules by officials and general people of Darjeeling together is a consciousness thinks need to adopt every one calls our duty for the sack of keep slogan ever "Keep Darjeeling Clean & Green".
