Darjeeling is famous for its tea industry, which produces blends considered among the world finest. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway opened in 1881, facilitating rapid communication between the town and the plains below. The Darjeeling area was a Non-Regulation district; thus acts and regulations did not automatically come into force in the district in line with rest of the country unless they were extended to it. The two most significant contributors to Darjeelings economy are tourism and the tea industry.
