Brief About Darjiling District
One of the most beautiful hill stations in the country. Tea, Timber and Tourism are the three main factors for economy of the district. Orange and Cardamom are also two cash crops for this district.

Darjeeling derives its name from the Tibetan DORJE-LING meaning "place of the thunderbolt." The district town of extreme northern West Bengal lies at an elevation of about 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above sea level. District Headquarter is also called Darjeeling, situated 305 miles north of Calcuttaand is well connected by major road, rail, and air connections with the metropolis. The town is situated on a long, narrow mountain ridge of the Sikkim Himalayas that descends abruptly to the bed of the Great Rangit River. On a clear day the city presents the grandview of Kanchenjunga and glimpses of the Mt.Everest.
