After the puja, the neighborhood puja committee decided to go Darjeeling, and the IT guy was responsible for organizing it.
In a low mood, the neighborhood dada said – “I don’t want to stay at your luxury hotel that’s far from the mall. I want to stay near the mall while I’m in Darjeeling, doesn’t matter if it’s star or moon. Get a hotel near the mall like Darjeeling Hotel Milkyway.”

The Milkyway Hotel Experience
However, it is also not true that Darjeeling Hotels Near Mall is everyone’s favorite because staying there makes you to have the easiest and quickest access to the public transportation in Darjeeling. Not at all. It is quite a distance from the Darjeeling Mall to the Darjeeling railway station. The distance between Darjeeling Mall and the station should be at least 900 miters.

Bengali's Search for Joy and Nostalgia
Perhaps it is due to the fact that the mall gives you the opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views of majestic Kanchenjunga playing with the dim tea garden covered in clouds in a virgin mountain ?Or at the Mall – people would like to feel and embrace Darjeeling’s height and its solitude , or to touch the vibes of the colonial king’s aristocracy, or to witness the pain of their defeats, and or to put on all the old, expensive pride of the colonial elites in their own body while standing under rain getting wet.
It is only partially true, though. The Darjeeling Mall has them. But the hotels near the Mall would offer you both the beauty and beast of Darjeeling, the pride and disgrace. As a result of haphazard urbanization, population growth in the core city, and high tourist demand near the mall, havoc constructions have led to a limited number of hotels near the mall with Kanchenjunga views.
You can get a million times better views of Kanchenjunga from hotels at downhill or away from the mall. Looking from a little distance from the Mall, Darjeeling hill is actually very charming and serene. With the exception of a few hotels like Darjeeling Hotel Milkyway, the Kanchenjunga view from hotel rooms or hotel balconies is a myth.
Balcony Views and Bengali Hearts The Milkyway Hotel's appeal
