Sittong, situated atop the Himalayan range, is a cluster of villages nestled amidst lush green pine forests and vast orange orchards. The area has gained popularity among tourists due to its prominence as the heart of the Darjeeling hills’ orange-growing countryside. Nevertheless, Sittong offers more than its celebrated oranges; the region is characterized by pristine natural beauty, exemplifying nature’s perfection. The area remains untouched, allowing visitors to revel in the beauty of unspoiled nature.
