Roll of honour

The Roll of Honour in Darjeeling, India, is a memorial dedicated to the Gorkha soldiers of the Darjeeling area who lost their lives in various military operations after India's independence. This poignant tribute is situated near the Batasia Loop, offering a panoramic backdrop perfect for photography. Visiting this site allows photo-travelers to capture not only the solemn beauty of the memorial but also the breathtaking views of the Eastern Himalayas and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The lush greenery and the dramatic mountainous terrain provide a serene yet vibrant setting. Early mornings are especially recommended for photographers looking to catch the soft golden light illuminating the snow-capped peaks of Kanchenjunga in the distance, alongside capturing the essence of this memorial in the peaceful dawn hours.
