How widespread are the gardens you visit?
I visited Darjeeling as a tourist when I was a child (living in Calcutta).

the hill within walking distance from the train station. Most of the
tourism (including Happy Valley Gardens) was in ancient Land Rovers. But
you know how distance/size perspective gets distorted when you are a child
