Adventure In Darjeeling |
 Darjeeling can be much fun when it comes to adventure and sports. Trekking, in fact, is said to have originated from Darjeeling. The 'Singalila Trek' is the most famous allowing one to venture out in the regions of Himalayan Mountains. Two suitable seasons for going out trekking are middle of March to June, and September last to December.
Yet another adventurous sport is White Water Rafting, which is said to have an absolute ecstatic effect – after all, one gets to experience the fickle nature of the river.
