Light blue, pink and lavender houses are nestled amidst deep green trees with the mighty Mt. Kanchanjunga rising in the background in splendid hues of purple and pink. The exceptional view commanded from Darjeeling is well-represented here, both in color and style. However, on a clear day, a visitor to this area in the northeast of India would also be able to see Mt. Everest.
