Darjeeling one of the most popular hill stations of India, is no less than a paradise
in itself with its resplendent beauty that impresses all the eyes. Initially a
summertime home for the British, Darjeeling still retains many features that remind
of the, once upon a time, British existence here. Perched in the Himalayan foot
hills, this lively town is east of Nepal, south of Sikkim and also has Bhutan
as its neighbor at the south west.
However, when one comes to this hill resort, the Sightseeing in Darjeeling
is not all. There are a number of other Things to Do in Darjeeling. Shopping
in Darjeeling is a delightful experience with the number of shops and mall that
are spread about the hill town. Amongst the popular ones, the Chowrasta in Darjeeling
is a favorite shopping hub and remains lively with people, throughout the day.
The Mall road leads to the Chowrasta in Darjeeling. This can also be described
as a place which is ideal enough to sit, relax and chit chat. A walk around
the mall will only reveal the picturesque hills and mountains and the serene
greenery that combine for an awe inspiring scenery, from which, one will find
hard to take off the eyes.
Chowrasta in Darjeeling is a spread around a large, open and asphalted area,
surrounded with shops, small and big restaurants, cafeterias and pony stables.
Chowrasta at Darjeeling is situated at a good height from the low lying areas
and offers breath takingly beautiful views of the mountains. People can take
leisurely horse rides here and take a few rounds of the Darjeeling Chowrasta.
Just at one end of the plaza, one can spot ladies gathered in groups and chatting
away to glory. Along one side of the Chowrasta of Darjeeling, one will spot
the Oxford Bookstore and Habeeb Mullick. While the Oxford has all the books
one could ask for, the Habeeb Mullick store is quite famous for the metallic
artifacts.
