Darjeeling

Shopping Delights

It's tea, no doubt! Pick up some of the most exotic varieties from Nathumull Tea Merchants on Laden La Road. First Flush and Golden-Tipped Orange Pekoe are some of the best varieties to get. And if it's curios and trendy souvenirs you're looking for, rummage through brass statuettes, tinkling wind chimes, leather artifacts, Himalayan handicrafts and silver jewellery in the shops that line the Chowrasta and Mall. The Tibetan Refugee Centre also offers options to pick up Tibetan wool, silk, thangkas and bronze, copper, silver and gold artifacts. You can also get reasonably priced Tibetan Carpets at Hayden Hall and Third Eye
