Darjeeling
The queen of hills, Darjeeling sits pretty amidst tea plantations and faces the mighty Kangchendzonga. April is one of the best times to be there, the weather is just about perfect, the rhododendrons are in full bloom and the views are crystal clear. There is also a visit to the picturesque village of Pokhriabong and the Nepal border.

One of the best Colonial Hotels in the World (Sunday Times of London), its situated atop the Observatory hill and bang in the middle of Darjeelings cultural and social hub: the Chowrasta. The impeccable rooms, food and service dates back to the British-era and is one of the best preserved legacies. The afternoon tea is a delight.

Making a contribution:
All CWH trips are run with the underlying philosophy of making a contribution to the place and people where we go for our holidays. This time we will be supporting Riverdale, a school and orphanage, based in the nearby village of Pokhriabong and run by a native girl, Smrithi, and involved in spreading awareness about saving the forests and pangolins, an ant eater. A day trip to this pretty village and time spent with the kids will be the highlight of the trip. You can sponsor a child or make a contribution in any other way.
