Can any one suggest me the best route to visit Darjeeling from the plains of Siliguri? I believe there are two routs from Siliguri to reach Darjeeling, one from Pankhabari and another from Rohini. Which is suitable to follow for a tourist like me coming for the first time to the hills of Darjeeling?
