Darjeeling
has been famous for its Tea with a particular aroma.
Throughout the world tea drinkers love having the special
Darjeeling tea. So, how can some one miss getting some
Darjeeling tea if he comes to this place. Packed small bags
tea from this place make good souvenirs. But avoid tea in
tastefully decorated boxes as these are mostly blended tea
from Calcutta. Apart from tea there are many items which
Darjeeling offers in its shopping malls. Tourists love
taking home the curios and carpets from here. The shops for
curios and carpets are on Chowrasta and Nehru road. These
shops also sell thangkas, brass statues, religious objects,
jewellery, wood carvings, woven fabrics and many other items
from the Himalayan region. The Bronze items and wooden
carvings give you good value for your money. Thangkas are
impressive at the first sight but the require a closer look
if you want to buy them. The West Bengal's Manjusha Emporium
has a good collection Himalayan handicraft, silk and
handloom products. The woollen garments can be bought from
the markets on Hill Cart road. The bamboo items are
collectors delight from the region. Hayden Hall is a place
to look for the exclusive Tibetan Carpets. The women's
cooperative is also a place worth checking out. |
