Tourism
today, in the international scene encompasses a spirit of adventure giving rise
to fascinating sports. These in turn enable travellers to get a glimpse of
places, which might never have been covered during normal tour schedules.
Darjeeling too has not lagged behind in this sphere. In fact, Darjeeling is the
first hiss region in India where organized trekking was conducted by Dr. Hooker
in 1840s. The breath taking panoramic views of Everest and Kanchenjunga ranges
have been alluring thousands of nature lovers from different parts of the world
since then. After the assault of Everest by Tenzing and Hillary in 1953, The
Himalayan Mountaineering Institute came up in Darjeeling in the following year.
This institution has opened up new horizons in the fascinating adventure sports
of mountaineering and rock climbing. The DGHC Tourism Department has given a new
dimension to Adventure Sports in Darjeeling. White water rafting, Canoeing and
mountain biking are some such unusual sports, which are being regularly
organized.
