The last leg of the journey to East India takes place on a miniature railway which winds through deep jungles, tea gardens and pine forests. It is one of the great journeys of the world. Darjeeling is an unspoilt, English-style hill station straddling a mountain slope and surrounded by high green hills covered with coniferous trees, with massive drops into the enchanting valley below. It commands a stunning view of Kanchenjunga (8,586 meters), particularly from nearby Tiger Hill and the sunrise which breaks over the mountains is one of the most beautiful sights on earth.
