If you’ve had your fill of the souvenirs and accessories that are common to the hill town’s markets, then head to one of the most remarkable landmarks of the hill town—the Oxford Book Store. Built in the typical hill-style architecture of fretwork and pitched roof, the Oxford Book Store has been a Mall Road landmark for over 60 years. It has a large collection of books on travel and tourism for places like Darjeeling, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, Tibet and the Himalayas. A favourite haunt amongst avid readers and explorers, this small book shop also houses a small section where the owners sell Darjeeling tea to visitors.Refrain from posting comments that are obscene, defamatory or inflammatory, and do not indulge in personal attacks, name calling or inciting hatred against any community.
