BENGAL NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM DARJEELING - WEST BENGAL (INDIA)
If you like to know about the fauna of Darjeeling district and that of the state, don't miss out on the Bengal Natural History Museum. It's only a few minutes downhill walk from the Chowrasta Mall. It started as a modest effort way back in 1903 when the then Governor of Bengal initiated creation of a small museum in the Botanical Gardens of Darjeeling.
A small building in the Botanical Garden was constructed at a cost of Rupees 14,000 to display only the butterflies and birds of the area. However it was too small and not good enough for the students and researchers to study the whole bird and animal life in the region. Therefore the present building was constructed in 1915 at a cost of Rupees 55,000 to satisfy such requirement.
In 1923, Bengal Natural Museum Society was formed that took charge of the management of the museum. It continued until 1976 after which the management was taken over by the Forest Department of Government of West Bengal.
During the initial days of the museum, an amateur ornithologist Charles M Inlis was the Curator of the museum. He held the post for 26 years since 1923. During his time, he had put in immense effort and built up the museum with active support from many officials including E.O. Shebbeare, The Conservator of Forest (Bengal), G.E. Shaw, The Superintendent of Cinchona Plantation, and many others.
Today the museum houses huge collection and specimens that include wide varieties of birds with nests and eggs, reptiles and fishes, mammals, insects and more. All these specimens are of real creatures that were captured and preserved. There is a special taxidermy unit in the museum which specializes in curing, staffing and rendering the birds and animals for display on the glass cabinets. This unit has been there right from the inception of the museum.
There are two large sections of the museum. One at the ground level and the other at the basement. As you enter the large room at the ground level, there are rows of glass cabinets on both sides. The first section is that of birds.

Bengal Natural History Museum (Darjeeling)
The Bengal Natural History Museum provides a wonderful view of the flora and fauna of the hills. It shows the evolution process of natural environment. There are a large number of specimens of Himalayan fauna, including various types of birds, reptiles, deers, tigers etc. From Hill Cart road we took a 15 minutes upward trekking towards chowrasta to reach this place. It remains open from 10 AM to 4 PM (except Thursday). Entry ticket is very nominal (probably Rs 10/-). They also allowed to take pictures inside without any additional charges. The specimens inside the museum were very lively. It was a nice experience to visit the museum.

HIMALAYAN MUSEUM AT DARJEELING, WEST BENGAL, INDIA
Nestled among the rolling mountains with the glistening Mt Kanchenjunga towering over the azure sky, Darjeeling fondly called Queen of the Hills, provides a perfect gateway for those seeking to be in harmony with nature.
The world heritage Darjeeling Himalayan Railway where the century old miniature steam engine still chugs uphill vying for space with the fast disappearing Land Rovers.
Darjeeling (दार्जलिङ / দার্জিলিং) is a town and a municipality in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is located in the Lesser Himalayas at an elevation of 6,700 ft (2,042.2 m). It is noted for its tea industry, the spectacular views of Kangchenjunga, the world's third-highest mountain, and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Darjeeling is the headquarters of Darjeeling district which has a partially autonomous status within the state of West Bengal. It is also a popular tourist destination in India.
The recorded history of the town starts from the early 19th century when the colonial administration under the British Raj set up a sanatorium and a military depot in the region. Subsequently, extensive tea plantations were established in the region and tea growers developed hybrids of black tea and created new fermentation techniques. The resultant distinctive Darjeeling tea is internationally recognized and ranks among the most popular black teas in the world.

Miniature of Himalayan belt at Tibet Himalayan Museum, Darjeeling
A miniature model of the whole Himalayan belt being displayed at Tibet Himalayan Museum in Darjeeling, West Bengal.
This is the newest museum in Darjeeling inaugurated on 2nd July 2015 by revered Tibetan guru Gurung Tulku Nima Hoiser Rinpoche. The timing was so chosen to coincide with the 80th birthday celebration of Dalai Lama.
The museum is located on Gandhi road and within easy walking distance from the town center (i.e. the clock tower area). As the name suggests, the museum is mainly about the Tibetan community although it has several exhibits and artifacts of other communities along the Himalayan belt as well.
There are other Tibetan museums in India, but they mostly focus on the religious aspects of Tibetans. This museum has its main focus on the history and culture of the Tibetans rather than their religious backgrounds. And the reason for that being it's a unit of Manjushree Centre of Tibetan Culture which is a well known non-profit organization in Darjeeling that has been working on preservation of Tibetan history, heritage, culture and language since long.
The museum is located at the ground floor of Manjushree Centre. Upstairs, the organization also runs a small lodging-only budget hotel called Tibet Home which helps to generate some funding. But there is a strange background to why and how this museum was first conceived. The president of Manjushree Centre Ngawang Tenzin Gyatso was in Lhasa of Tibet in 2007 when he visited the National Museum there. It is built on the theme of Chinese occupied Tibet. He figured out that the Chinese had manipulated the history of Tibet to suite their own story and misrepresented the facts about Tibetan history and culture. He decided to create a Tibetan museum in Darjeeling to straighten out the facts.

Darjeeling museum is very beautiful museum.
The museum has been kept in the mountains which won the Mount Everest, many old clothes, pants, and much more. If you go to Darjeeling tour you can come back there, and many can resort to discretion.
It's a little away from Darjeeling city.
এই যাদুঘরে রাখা আছে যারা মাউন্ট এভারেষ্ট জয় করেছিল তাদের অনেক পুরনো কাপড়, প্যান্ট, সোজ আরও অনেক কিছু । আপনারা দার্জিলিং ট্যুর এ গেলে সেখানে একটু ঘুরে আসতে পারেন । এবং অনেক অবিজ্ঞতা অবলম্বন করতে পারেন ।
