Colonial Heritage Walking Tour i Darjeeling
Beskrivelse
Darjeeling holder fast i forfædre af rige koloniale, Lepcha-, tibetanske, bhutanesiske, stamme- og multikulturel kulturarv. Dens dygtige etniciteter og geografiske placering tjente briterne til sommerhovedstaden, som de drømte om at bo i under deres styre i Indien. Dagens Darjeeling, der ligger i de romantiske dale i det smukke østlige Himalaya, præsenterer dig for en kosmopolitisk blanding som ingen anden bjergby i Indien. Dens fredfyldte naturlige skønhed kombineret med dens dejlige, imødekommende og varme mennesker gør dig nostalgisk, hver gang du træder ind. Vores ture vil få dig til at opleve sagaen om dens storhedsdage og de bedste af naturens vidundere, der engang fik briterne til at kalde den Dronningen af bakkerne.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Det berømte klokketårn blev bygget i 1850 og huser Darjeeling rådhus. Med sin skelsættende beliggenhed kan det majestætiske ur prale af byen med sin søde påmindelse hver time.
Startet i 1868 for de britiske planter og deres familier i Darjeeling, Darjeeling Planters Club bærer stadig den rige arv fra kolonitiden. Udover forskellige berømte og berygtede lejligheder, har det også fungeret som udgangspunkt for nogle af de bemærkelsesværdige Mount Everest-ekspeditioner.
Darjeeling Head Post Office blev bygget i maj 1921 og huser et af de ældste postkontorer i regionen. Det er også markeret som et UNESCOs verdensarvssted.
Den hyggelige, nostalgiske påmindelse om Mr. Edward Keventers mejerifarm i Ghoom, denne restaurant vil imponere dig med sin solide morgenmad og læskende snacks ved siden af et ikonisk udsigtspunkt midt i bjergbyen.
Engang grundlagt af en østriger i Darjeeling, ville bageriet og tesalonen opmuntre dig til at opleve en af de bedste solnedgange i byen. Dets åbne cafeteria og bar er nogle af de bedste tilholdssteder i Darjeeling.
Oprindeligt bygget i 1843 holder denne ikoniske struktur på minderne om løjtnant A Lyod, der menes at være opdageren af Darjeeling. Dette blev oprindeligt bygget som en anglikansk kirke langs Mall Road.
Darjeeling Gymkhana Club blev grundlagt i 1909 og er vært for over et århundredes glorværdig historie og rig arv. Klubben rummer badmintonbaner, kortrum og et fremragende bibliotek.
Det er her, vinterhovedstaden fra sin storhedstid huser regeringshuset - Raj Bhavan. Oprindeligt bygget af briterne i 1840, har det ændret sit ejerskab til Maharaja af Coochbehar senere i 1877. The Mall er hjerteknuseren i byen Darjeeling. Det huser forskellige festivaler og turistaktiviteter i løbet af året.
Et af de ældste fotografistudier i Darjeeling startede i 1927. Dets vægge er dekoreret med panoramabilleder af byen fra forskellige perioder.
Før du når indkøbscentret, er dette et af de bedste steder at opleve håndlavede kuriositeter.
Med sin typiske hyttearkitektur i bakkestil vil denne boghandel fange dine øjne efter mere end bare bøger. Det har en enorm samling af souvenirs, som du kan finde på at tage tilbage til dine kære eller endda til dig selv.
Hjemmet til den legendariske Darjeeling Himalaya-jernbane, der startede sin rejse tilbage i 1870'erne.
Lige efter at have krydset St. Columbas-kirken besøger vi Turnbull High School, en af de mindre kendte koloniskoler i Darjeeling efter Nepali High School & Bishop's House.
Dette er hjerteknuseren fra Old British Market, Darjeeling Old Rly Station og den gamle britiske Ropeway. Det bedste sted at fange byens travlhed.
Hjem til en af de legendariske skikkelser fra den indiske uafhængighedsbevægelse. Trådte i rige arv fra den revolutionære bevægelse i Darjeeling.
Lagret af regnskaber fra tusinder af år af Tibets oprindelige historie og det århundreder gamle forhold mellem Tibet og Indien.
Et must besøg for at udforske historien om det legendariske Hayden Hall Institute og dets driftige kvinder!
Nær banegården er bygget i stil med Katmandus Pashupatinath tempel. Det føjer til de forskellige religiøse arkitektoniske stilarter i Darjeeling.

I was having a very tight schedule. They executed the tour as per my schedule. Ankit from Darjeeling Walks took me around. Very interesting informative and value for money. Thank you very much.
I would highly recommend Darjeeling Walks for anyone who hopes to get an immersive experience where you get to explore different aspects of the city, its history and its evolution. I had the privilege to take two walks with DW, the Summer Capital and the Culture Shock. Both walks were rich in their experience, where we walked up and down winding roads of the city to uncover a lot of its lesser known treasures, and our guide Ankit with his rich knowledge of the context was able to weave a cohesive narrative, making it a memorable experience! Highly recommended and cannot wait to come back for more walks with Darjeeling Walks!

Great guide Ankit. We learnt so much about the past and present history of Darjeeling. It was fascinating hearing from a local person. We had lunch and our tour ended up being 3 1/2hrs. A must do tour if you're in Darjeeling
Hi Elaine, We are delighted to learn that you had a great experience with Ankit :) Do come back and join us again! Best wishes, Anirban and team
Ankit was a super tour guide. He was very professional and knowledgeable and the tour covered many aspects of historic and current life in Darjeeling. The tour lasted for over 3 1/2 hours and we had a lovely lunch. We would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you Ankit
Had an amazing tour with Sunny. This was our first time in Darjeeling and he had so much to share with us. We were running late and he was kind and accommodating. Darjeeling has incredible history and he brought it to life.
Dear Diane, We are glad and humbled to know that you had an amazing day with Sunny! We hope that you come back and see us again on our other tours and experiences. Wishing you a great week ahead! Anirban and team
I had an amazing experience exploring Darjeeling with Ankit. As a local, his knowledge of the town’s history is extensive and deeply insightful. Even though it was a Sunday and several sites were closed, Ankit went above and beyond to compensate. He provided incredible detail and patiently answered every single question I had. I'm also quite happy with the food selected for tasting, unique and yum :) The tour was originally slated for 2–3 hours, but Ankit generously extended the time to ensure I had a complete experience. I highly appreciate the organizers for proceeding with the walk even though I was the only attendee. It’s rare to find that level of commitment to customer satisfaction. Truly worth every penny—I’ll definitely be booking their other tours when I return!
Hello there, This is amazing! Exactly the way we wanted our Travellers to feel and experience, while we become storytellers. Great to learn about your experience. We really hope that you join us again on some of our tours. With best travel wishes, Anirban and team
Rab Rai was an amazing guide and good companion. From sunrise on Tiger Hill to the toy train, he imparted his extensive knowledge with clarity and conciseness. He is also a very good artist with great pictures of the landscape and the trains. He was a good companion as we navigated Darjeeling, stepping out of tourist activities to meet friends of friends and speak at St Paul’s School.
Dear Jill & David, Glad that you had a great time with Explorer Rabindra! We look forward to seeing you again on our tours and experiences. With Season's Greetings, Anirban and Team
