I knew nothing of Darjeeling before my trip last year, except for the region's reputation for quality teas.
One of the greatest aspects of long term travel, and around the world trips, in particular, is the freedom the time allows you to change plans and follow your curiosities.
It turns out Darjeeling has a lot to offer, and I was easily able to occupy myself for a full week.
