Darjeeling News Site was previously run by one man, but with the want of more manpower and popularity of the site and the demand for it, made us come to a conclusion that Darjeeling News site should have a prominent domain name and server space and with more manpower - here we are with the same to make it better and to serve in a better way. With the help of donations alone from different individuals around the globe (collected by a friend at United Kingdom or UK), we are now hosted in one of the world's best servers situated in the U.S. Thanks to all the people who helped us in making this site attain its impossible dream.

The idea of sending Darjeeling newsletters was put into implementation way before the formation of this new site. This is a continuation of the same, but in a better and more professional way. The main idea behind this site is to serve the people of Darjeeling staged far away from home and who do not have access to anything that is happening in Darjeeling and its surrounding hills. Yes, this site can be utilized by people who are not in a habit of reading newspapers :) and those who are interested in knowing about news from Darjeeling. Covering news and sending newsletters did not fill the appetite of our viewers and subscribers - we had to upgrade to a site containing almost every information on Darjeeling and its resources. Now Darjeelingnews.net is not only meant for Darjeeling people, but also for tourists willing to visit Darjeeling or wanting to know more about the place.

As intended, Darjeelingnews.net is a non profit site aimed at serving the community, but in order to cope up with the maintenance and the expenses involved in keeping the site alive, we impart certain services which would help generate revenue and lighten the burden of responsibility. We sell numerous products which are not available anywhere in the world, but Darjeeling. Sale of "Darjeeling Sovenirs" is intended to light up the fire of consciousness regarding Darjeeling, its rich cultural heritage and its priceless possessions such as the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway or the DHR. The other intention developed by Darjeelingnews.net is to provide authentic information to tourists seeking information on Darjeeling. Since Darjeeling is a tourist hill destination, the economy of the hills depend on tourism. Darjeelingnews.net intends to promote Darjeeling and prove it as the most tourist friendly place in the world with the nicest people on earth. Yes, Darjeeling is "The Queen of the Hills" which offers a home for everyone.

Flipping the pages of history, Darjeeling has been the home ground for Nepalese music from folk, bhajans to modern pop. This site highlights promotion for talented artists lagging behind the screens due to lack of scope. Darjeeling lacks proper advertising agencies and that is why Darjeeling artists lack proper limelight. In modern times, media and technology plays an important role in making an artist attain that fame which he/she has always been dreaming of. At this juncture, we are trying to sell artist's cassettes and cds all for free which will enable them to sell their products online and have greater scope for popularity through the net. Now artists can even send us their profile, photos, mp3s etc. to be added on our artist section. When talking of talents, besides music we encourage talents in any form or action - they can always write to us for promotion - artists@darjeelingnews.net

Besides all, we intend to gather healthy views and suggestions for the betterment and development of Darjeeling and to drive in the force of conciousness of the society's upliftment in the people. For this purpose, a "Darjeeling Forum" has been incorporated with the site to ease off discussions related to matters on Darjeeling. One can also make use of the Online form to send us comments and suggestions. We value our user feedbacks.

Views or opinions can also be sent to us by writing to us via email or snailmail.
