Darjeeling is a town and municipality in the Eastern Himalayas in India, lying at an average elevation of 2,045 metres (6,709 ft) in the northernmost region of the state of West Bengal. Kangchenjunga, the world’s third-highest mountain, rises in north and is prominently visible on clear days.

 Darjeeling tea is grown on the slopes below the town and the steam-powered Darjeeling Himalayan Railway attracts tourists for the experience of late 19th-century travel. Darjeeling is also the headquarters of the Darjeeling district, a semi-autonomous region governed by the Gorkhaland Territorial administration.

The two most significant contributors to Darjeeling’s economy are tourism and tea. Darjeeling produces one of the world’s high-end teas. The unique agro-climatic conditions of Darjeeling give its tea a distinctive natural flavour, and it is both renowned internationally and recognised as a geographical indicator.[citation needed] Darjeeling produces 7% of India’s tea output, approximately 9,000,000 kilograms (20,000,000 lb) every year.

 Women are preferentially employed for picking tea leaves, and constitute more than half of tea plantation workers. The Indian tea industry has been adversely affected by price drops after India’s economic liberalisation in the 1990s. Darjeeling tea garden owners have invested their surpluses in more profitable industries elsewhere, causing a decline in productivity in the local tea industry.

The tea industry has also faced competition in recent years from tea produced in other parts of India as well as other countries such as Nepal. Widespread concerns about labour disputes, worker layoffs and closing of estates have also affected investment and production. Several tea estates are being run on a workers’ cooperative model, while others are being planned for conversion into tourist resorts.

Darjeeling has two major arterial roads: Hill Cart Road—which is a continuation of National Highway 110 connecting Siliguri at the base of the Darjeeling hills to Darjeeling—and Lebong Cart Road. The average width of Darjeeling’s roads is between 6 metres (20 ft) and 7 metres (23 ft).

 According to a Darjeeling Municipality report of 2008, a little over half (55%) of Darjeelings roads were both metalled (paved with asphalt, or bitumen) and motorable; the rest were too narrow to admit traffice whether concrete roads or unpaved. There were three parking areas that were not located on a street; 13 were on-street ones. According to a 2018 article, illegal parking along narrow roads has created congestion for both pedestrians and wheeled transport.
