Darjeeling: 2 Backpackers (2 Point)

Abeyant narrow winding downhill road descends by several thousand feet to a dale where the Borbotey Rock Garden is located. There are sharp hairpin bends on the way and the gradient of the road is very steep. However the view of Darjeeling's landscape and the mountain range from the road is unparalleled.

One of the great scenes you will notice on the way is the position of the clouds. You will see them somewhere down in the deep gorge, and as you descend quickly you will see them rising above you. It's just simply spectacular. As you get off the car, you will see many stalls being set up by the locals selling street snack and small souvenir items for the tourists. There is a wonderful waterfall that comes all the way from the top and over the rocks to down below.

However, there are beautiful flower gardens, trees and shrubbery at all levels along with nice seating arrangements. So you can rest and relax, enjoy the views around as you go up. Barbotey Rock Garden was created to introduce a special attraction for tourists a little outside the town area so that the visitors have an added incentive to come to the hill town. Further down is the Gangamaya Park, which is another relatively new addition to the special attractions.

Once you enter the premises of the park, you can find yourself at the foothill of mountains that come from all sides. Yes, this is a ravine surrounded by hills and having a natural water stream flowing through it. There is a small lake where one can also enjoy boating on paddle boats. It's easy to get to one of the many large rocks that are sedentary right on the stream. Sit on top of one of those, deep your feet into the water, enjoy the sound of the flowing water and the scenery around.

Pick up and drop from/to your location within city limits.
