Darjeeling Brochure trek Darjeeling actionchallenge in Darjeeling This spectacular Himalayan trek takes us high into the mountains through lush forests, rural villages and breathtaking mountain scenery on an eleven day adventure of a lifetime. Our hike begins with a 1,000 m climb to the Tonglu Ridge (3,070 m) with its stunning views across Darjeeling and beyond to the plains of North Bengal and the snow-capped peaks. We follow our trail as it leads us up and over valleys blanketed in silver fir and spruce trees. As we continue deep into the mountains, rhododendrons, magnolias and orchids line our route. Together we pass through small rural villages where we meet the local people and get a glimpse of their culture and way of life. Our tough ascents are more than rewarded with stunning views of Kanchenjunga and the giant snow-capped peaks of Nepal and Bhutan. At Sabarkum we leave our tea house early to see the sun rise over the highest mountains in the world, lighting up the snowy peaks and deep valleys around us. A magical experience and a dawn we’ll never forget. We spend a day in the Himalayan hill station of Darjeeling exploring, shopping in the bazaar or taking a trip on one of the last remaining famous ‘Toy Trains’, an original steam train running on the UNESCO World Heritage railway built in 1879.

  • 2000 in the Land of Five Treasures of Snow
    SIKKIM : THE LAND OF FIVE TREASURES OF THE SNOWS To breathe the air of Sikkim free, To wander by her purling rills, And seek the beauty of her hills, The blueness of her sky. C. McCauley, Lay of Lachen The Sikkim region of the Himalaya is so small that originally it was classified as part of Nepal Himalaya in the 1860s in a study conducted by Sir Sydney Burrard, the Surveyor-General of India from 1910 to 1919. This diminutive state to the north of Darjeeling, the famous hill town in West Bengal, stretches for about 110 km from north to south, and for 65 km from east to west. The Kangchenjunga (now also known as the Khangchendzonga), at 8,586 m the third highest peak in the world, is situated here. The original inhabitants of Sikkim were the Lepchas whose language and physical features tend to identify them as the ancient tribe that is believed to have migrated from southern Tibet during the 15th century. Very few Lepchas remain today, and the population largely consists of the Nepalis who arrived in Sikkim during the early 20th century in search of livelihood. Sikkim was an independent kingdom until a series of events caused the British to take full control of the region in 1861. In the early 19th century, the East India Company settled a dispute between Sikkim and Nepal in favour of the former, in the process assuming certain protective rights and gaining control over the Sikkimese army. In 1834, the East India Company helped the Chogyal of Sikkim in repulsing the Nepalese army, and as a gesture of goodwill, the Chogyal presented it with the present day Darjeeling and the Singalila ridge, a small track immediately surrounding it.

  • INTRODUCTION Situated in the North of the State of W~St Bengal
    1 INTRODUCTION Situated in the North of the State of W~st Bengal, Darjeeling district comprises Darjeeling Sadar and three subdivisions, viz. (1) Kurseong, (2) Kalimpong, and (3) Siliguri. The district has two distinct topographical features. Darjeeling Sadar, Kurseong, and Kalimpong occupy the hilly tracts of the district and Siliguri at the foothills has plain stretches of land. Tea plantations over the hilly tracts of the district are popularly known as Darjeeling plantations, which are within the ambit of the study. The district Darjeeling lies between26o31' and 2i13' North latitude and between 0 0 ' 87 59' and 88 53' East longitude. The shape of the district is triangular surrounded on the East by Bhutan, on the North by Sikkim and on the West by Nepal. ·The Northwestern boundary commences from a height of 12,000 feet with Nepal. THE RIVER SYSTEM Teesta, the most important river of Darjeeling rises in North Sikkim and ·flows through the district till it reaches Sevok. River Teesta is often called the "River of Sorrow", as it creates havoc and destruction during the rains. Other rivers of significance are Rungeet, Balasun, Mahanadi and Mechi. Mahanadi has its source near Mahalderam, . east of Kurseong. Balasun takes its source near Lepchajagat in the Ghoom-Simana ndge of west of Kurseong. Mechi has its source froni the western hill areas. PHYSIOGRAPHY AND SOIL The hill ·areas of Darjeeling district consist of the unaltered sedimentary rocks confmed to the hills on the south and different grades of metamorphic rocks over the rest 2 of the area. The mountains are made of folded rocks piled one over another by a series of ' north-south horizontal compressions movements and tangential thrusts.

Abstract – Purple tea is a variety of Camellia sinensis and it contains anthocyanidins and 1, 2-di-O-galloyl-4, 6-O- (S) -hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-glucose(GHG),a hydrolysable tannin. Purple tea is a unique type of thirst quenching tea with excellent briskness and flavor in oxidized form with lots of health benefits. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN), the world market for aerated (black) tea is anticipated to shrink in future whereas that for un-aerated (green, purple tea, etc.) tea and other forms of specialty teas is expected to grow.

Background Disaster struck the Sikkim on 18th September 2011, when a powerful earthquake (6.9 on the Richter scale) shook Darjeeling, Sikkim and Eastern Nepal. More than 75 people perished, with most of the casualties being reported from Sikkim. Again there was widespread infrastructural damage caused by over 300 new and reactivated landslides. Several villages in North Sikkim were completely destroyed, others were cut off due to damaged roads, and in others, important local water sources were lost permanently due to altered hydrology. In none of these cases were local communities or government agencies prepared to deal with the human suffering, financial loss and physical damage that followed. Nor, it appeared, had planning been responsive to known regional seismic and climate-related risks. In May 2009, tropical cyclone Aila swept over the Darjeeling Hills in West Bengal, India, pounding the steep hillsides with continuous rain for three days. The super-saturated soil cover liquefied and slid down-slope in dozens of locations. The storm claimed 25 lives in Darjeeling district and caused severe damage to roads, drains and other infrastructure. Some 300 villages in the Darjeeling Hills were affected and over 500 homes were damaged or destroyed.

Man enjoys the beauties of nature and lives on them. But he also becomes a victim of the fury of nature. Natural calamities like famines and floods take a heavy toll of human life and property. Man seems to have little chance in fighting against natural forces. The topography of the district of Darjeeling is such that among the four sub-divisions, three sub-divisions are located in the hills where disasters like landslides, landslip, road blockade are often occurred during monsoon. On the other side, in the Siliguri Sub-Division which lies in the plain there is possibility of flood due to soil erosion/ embankment and flash flood. As district of Darjeeling falls under Seismic Zone IV the probability of earthquake cannot be denied. Flood/ cyclone/ landslide often trouble men. Heavy rains results in rivers and banks overflowing causing damage on a large scale. Unrelenting rains cause human loss. In a hilly region like Darjeeling district poor people do not have well constructed houses especially in rural areas. Because of incessant rains houses collapse and kill people. Rivers and streams overflow inundating large areas. Roads and footpaths are sub merged under water.

Abstract A study was conducted at Darjeeling Tea Research and Development Centre (DTR &DC), Kurseong to see the effect of climate change on production of tea. Results demonstrate that productivity of green leaf in 2012 has reduced by 41.97 % and 30.90 % as compared with 1993 and 2002, respectively. Highest productivity of 1974.44 kg green leaf ha-1 was obtained during 1994, thereafter productivity was declined continuously. Coefficient of determinants indicated that highest variation of (81.9 %) green leaf yield was due to relative humidity, followed by total annual rainfall (61.4%) and minimum temperature (13.6 %).
