Question

a factfile on darjeeling

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Darjeeling is located in the northern part of West Bengal, India, nestled between Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. Darjeeling is known as a hill station town, or a town set high up in the hills. In Darjeeling’s case, the hills that make it a hill station are actually the Himalayan
2. India has a rich, self-sustained, and well-documented history dating back almost 4,000 years. However, as trading lines became more easily traversable, Great Britain became increasingly interested in colonizing what it considered the Far East — which included India. Great Britain made the first land grab in 1757 and ruled over the area until 1948.
3. Construction on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the Toy Train, began in the 1880s. At the insistence of their British colonizers, local workers laid small-gauge tracks between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling and built small but powerful engines to traverse the extreme landscape.
4. Some of the finest teas in the world are produced in Darjeeling. Darjeeling tea is a light- to medium-bodied black tea that is highly aromatic with fruity and floral tones. And true Darjeeling tea is only grown in this specific area of West Bengal, on just 87 estates.
5. Over 4,000 different flowering plants, 300 varieties of ferns, and tons of wildlife can be found here. Monkeys, elephants, wild cats, and even endangered red pandas are all native to the area as well. And yes, you can see these adorable little creatures in person at the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoo, a favorite Darjeeling attraction!
