Sleeping Buddha Homestay-Darjeeling
Sleeping Buddha Homestay – Darjeeling
Nestled amidst acres of tea plantations, this hill town in West Bengal lies on the Himalayan foothills and is one of the most sought after hill stations in India. You can get a clear panoramic view of the world’s third highest peak, Kanchenjunga from the town on a sunny day. Some of Darjeeling’s most popular attractions include Tiger Hill, botanical gardens, a zoo, monasteries, and the Darjeeling-Rangeet Valley Passenger Ropeway cable car, which is the longest Asian cable car.
