In this collection of poems and essays, the writer pays tribute to Darjeeling, the Queen of the Hills, and one of India’s most popular hill-stations, eponymous with its tea, considered the best in the world. Through his words, the writer recollects the picturesque beauty of Darjeeling, the awe-inspiring majesty of the Himalaya, and the people he met in his memorable travels, all framed by endlessly rolling verdant tea-gardens, the turquoise Teesta river and above all, the mighty Kanchenjunga peak that’s stands guard like an ancient sentinel and looks over all with majesty and benevolence.
