Entertainment and Night Life in Darjeeling
There is a misconception that a hill station such as Darjeeling can never have any life after night fall. The only thing a place such this has on offer is ample natural beauty, which can be savored only during the day. At the most, one can undertake outdoor activities such as rock climbing, hiking and camping; but that too requires day light. Hence, there is nothing to do after the sun goes below the horizon.
Cinema Halls in Darjeeling
However, the truth is there is indeed plenty to do after night fall. For example, Darjeeling has several cinema halls in its vicinity. Hollywood as well as Bollywood movies are regularly screened in these halls.
Among them, Inox Leisure needs special mention. It is the only multiplex in Darjeeling and is located in the heart of the town.
The screens in this theater are clear. An excellent projection system along with a powerful sound system makes the experience of watching movies all the more interesting. Like all other Inox, here too tickets can be purchased online.
