Thank you //M ! I agree that Darjeeling have become touristy and crowded, however when I went there was hardly any crowd due to the restrictions and vaccination / rtpcr requirement. However its just a matter of time when things will be the same again. Quote:

Thank you akash_v12 !
We had a great experience at Victoria. The best thing about the hotel is its location. The rooms are pretty good and I think all rooms are having sea view. You have a choice of side sea facing and front sea facing room options with multiple tiers of room size / amenities to suit all budgets. I recommend you to watch this video to have a detailed understanding from 11:25:
They also give a discount of 10% I think on food items if you are staying in a premium room. |
