Darjeeling

Darjeeling - beautiful little town, famous for its great tea is placed at an average elevation of 2134m, from where you can see 4 of the 5 world's highest peaks, especially Kunchenjunga - world's third-highest mountain and India's highest peak. If you're lucky you might also see Mont Everest! Well, you can see when the weather is good... Unfortunatelly we weren't that lucky ;-( What's more, we felt like we were living in an enormous cloud! ;-) But anyway, the town is really pretty, cool temperature and people are lovely.
