One of the most visited hill-stations, Darjeeling or the Queen of Hill Stations is an old-world area, complete with rows of cottages, cobbled walkways and unforgettable views of the snow-clad Kanchenjunga Mountains. It is also a trekker‘s delight, considering the number of trekking areas that wind through pine and oak forests. Gangtok is an upcoming hill-retreat and a centre for Buddhist learning. Several monasteries dot the entire region, and an important site in the city is the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, which is a research centre for Buddhist and Tibetan cultures. Kalimpong is one of the quietest areas known for its profusion of churches, monasteries and colourful bazaars selling an array of handicrafts.
