Have you ever heard about Sittong?

You have for sure heard of Kurseong, Darjeeling or some might have already been there. But what if you get to know that the same amount of beauty, serenity, and wintery wonderland can be enjoyed in a less crowded treasure spot?

Yes, that newfound wonderland is no other than Sitong, a quiet hamlet nestled in the lap of mountains with just about 33 km distance from Darjeeling. If you are a traveler in a true sense, then this offbeat destination with its tea gardens, snow-covered peaks, heritage buildings, and toy trains, is sure to blow your mind and give you a bunch of lifetime memories to cherish with.

Sittong is slowly gaining popularity among tourists who look for getaways a little differently and in more secluded locations. Sittong is famous for its orange orchards. What we know as world-famous Darjeeling Oranges, are mainly produced in Sittong only.

Sittong comes on the way to Bagdogra or NJP to Darjeeling. On the way, after you reach Lohapool you got ask your driver to take a detour and go towards Sittiong. Sittong comes 33km or almost 1.5 hours before you reach Darjeeling.
