4  Batasia Loop The Batasia Loop located in Darjeeling is located on Hill Cart Road (National Highway 55) of West Bengal, India. This Batasia Loop in Darjeeling was created in order to alleviate the steep gradient in the hills. It was engineered by the British in 1919 to negotiate the 140 ft drastic fall of the train. The track wraps around itself and overlaps through a tunnel and a hilltop. The trail descends the height as it completes a loop in a large circular area, then goes to a gentle loop to cross over to its own track in the tunnel. This is considered as one of the greatest engineering feats.

5  Peace Pagoda Peace Pagodas were built as a symbol of peace in Japanese cities including Hiroshima and Nagasaki where the atomic bombs took the lives of over 150,000 people, almost all of whom were civilian, at the end of World War II. By 2000, eighty Peace Pagodas had been built around the world in Europe, Asia, and the United States.

6  Ghoom Monastery Ghoom Monastery is the first-ever Tibetan Buddhist monastery built at an elevation of 8000 feet 8km away from Darjeeling. The name of the monastery is Yiga Choeling Monastery but to the people, it is popular as the Ghoom Monastery. The Ghoom Monastery was constructed by the Mongolian monk and astrologer Sokpo Sherab Gyatso in the year 1850

7  Happy Valley Tea Estate Happy Valley Tea Estate is a Tea Garden in Darjeeling District in the Indian state of West Bengal. Established in 1854, it is Darjeeling’s second oldest tea estate
