Thats snowy Darjeeling
7 Oct 2009Sometime ago my friend Samir and I had the chance to click some photos of Darjeeling when it had snowed. Thanks to Samir for letting me get this photos showcased here.
The snow factor in Darjeeling is not a promised forecast but we do get snow in Darjeeling during the winters when the weather conditions dip below zero. I cannot recall which year, but it had snowed on the day of Christmas and we were all blessed.
Enjoy the photos! I remember the chill wanted me to crave for more of Darjeeling Tea - nice and hot!

It’s funny. I awakened in the middle of the night here. So I got up. Snow in Darjeeling? What does it do to the tea? Does it help or hurt your crop? I must get back to sleep.

Looks like a Western-style church. I didn’t know it got so cold in Darjeeling. I suppose that’s because it’s at a high elevation. This isn’t Assam, after all. –Teaternity

I didn’t know it snowed in Darjeeling. Wow! Quite lovely picutres. I wish you would write about how the snow affects the tea - obviously it doesn’t hurt it or Darjeeling would not be considered such a superb tea.

thanks Gwendol, Jason and Marlena. Well when it snows in Darjeeling, it is usually during peak winter season, when the chill is at its max. The winters are generally a dormant period for the production of Darjeeling Tea, therefore when we talk of production, it is unaffected. Teas are not processed during the winters here in Darjeeling. Ya the snow does damage the tea bushes, but by the time first flush arrives, it seems rejuvenated.
And regarding the churches, there are a considerable amount of Christians here in Darjeeling who got converted during the British rule. Most of the churches existent in Darjeeling has a historic significance coz they were all built by the Britons during their British Raj in India.
Keep visiting folks, you encourage me! Thanks again.
