"Dorje Ling", "the place of the Thunderbolt", straddles a ridge 2200 meters up in the Himalayas. Often shrouded by the clouds during the 'Monsoon' Season, this delightful and cosmopolitan town was originally a Summer Resort during the British Raj. Half a century later it still remains a much sought after vacationing spot.
Darjeeling was also home to the late, Mr. Tenzing Norgay, who on May 29, 1953 along with Sir Edmund Hillary, were the first recorded conquerors of Mt. Everest (29,028 ft.).
