Why Visit Rangaroon?
Situated at an altitude of 6,000 feet, Rangaroon is a deeply historical and scenic tea garden village located just 16 kilometers away from Darjeeling town. Established way back in 1776 by the British, it was originally developed as a botanical garden by the Lord Governor of Bengal before being converted into one of the region's earliest and finest tea estates. Today, it remains an incredibly peaceful, off-the-grid alternative to the crowded hill station.
What makes Rangaroon truly special is its unique vantage point. From the village homestays, you get a massive, uninterrupted view of the Mount Kanchenjunga snow peaks. After sunset, the view transforms—you can see the entire Darjeeling town glittering like a constellation of stars across the opposite mountain ridge. Surrounded by lush green tea bushes and the towering trees of the Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary, reaching this serene valley is easy. Book a comfortable, point-to-point taxi drop from NJP Railway Station or Bagdogra Airport directly to your homestay with Siliguri Cab Rental.
