When you want a break from quiet villages, Darjeeling Town is a short drive away, about 20 km from Dawaipani. It is busy and lively, and it is full of the places that made Darjeeling famous.
Top things to do in Darjeeling Town
Ride the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, the much-loved toy train. Visit the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park and the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute next door, then head to the Peace Pagoda for a calm view over the town. Save time for the Mall, the tea shops and a plate of hot momos.
Tips
Start early to beat the traffic. Many travellers enjoy the town as a day trip and then return to a peaceful homestay in the hills for the night.
Make it part of a longer trip with a night or two at one of our Darjeeling homestays. Just message us and we will help you plan it.
