Rock Garden and Ganga Maya Park are two newly added tourist spots located a few miles away from Darjeeling. Rock Garden, also known as Barbotey Rock Garden, is a man-made terraced garden cut out of rocks at different levels, and is located in the valley that sits below the main city.

The drive down to the garden is a treat in itself, as it gives you a breathtaking view of the lush valley, playing hide and seek under a cover of fluffy clouds. Visitors can go to the top to enjoy the beauty and the serenity of the surroundings. A lovely waterfall cascades over the rocks to form a clear pool at the bottom. Visitors can sit for hours and soak in the natural beauty of Darjeeling.

Further down from Rock Garden is Ganga Maya, another lovely attraction that has tourists flocking to it. This natural paradise is surrounded by lush green hills, with a vibrant valley sitting pretty in the center. It also has a rich collection of flora and fauna. Charming bridges built over the natural stream that flow through this place make for excellent frames, so you can take home picture-perfect memories to cherish forever.
