Darjeeling is
a town in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is the headquarters of Darjeeling district, in the Shiwalik Hills on the lower range of the Himalaya. The name 'Darjeeling' is a combination of the Tibetan words Dorje ('thunderbolt') and ling ('place'), translating as "The land of the thunderbolt". During the British Raj in India, Darjeeling's temperate climate led to its development as a hill station for British residents to escape the heat of the plains during the summers. Darjeeling is internationally popular for its tea industry and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. |
