Shopping in Darjeeling

Shopping in Darjeeling is a beautiful experience for any tourist. The hill station has innumerable shopping spots offering delightful bargaining. The shops here offer attractive handicrafts and curios bearing Himalayan stamp, which make for gift items back home. The most important and valuable item of Darjeeling is the aromatic tea. It is certainly a non-bailable offence if one is visiting the stunning hill town and not buying a packet of the world famous, exotic flavour, Darjeeling Tea.
