Summit Swiss Heritage Resort & Spa, Darjeeling

Popularly known as the Queen of the Hill Stations, Darjeeling spreads in ribbons over a steep mountain ridge. Surrounded by emerald-green tea plantations and towered over by majestic Khangchendzonga, Darjeeling has been extremely popular with tourists from across the world for its beauty and pleasant climate for a long time now. While one can’t get enough gazing at Khangchendzonga on a good clear day, they can visit the many Buddhist monasteries, see colonial-era architecture and take a ride on the 140-year-old steam-billowing Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
