A visit to Darjeeling during summer filled my life with cherishable picturesque memories. The Himalayan city is a renowned tourist spot for People throughout the world, surrounded by high peaks & Snowy Mountains lays the most beautiful city in the Indian state of West Bengal - The Darjeeling.
A Tidal wave of happiness rushed through my veins and Breezy cold air started to rub my face as I stood to watch one of the world’s highest peak Kanchenjunga, I was like a ship struck in the fog and all I could do was to just blow my horn. The view of the mountain range from the Himalayan city is that one thing, I could never forget in my life. The added beauty of the place where the sight of the tea slopes and the smell of the tea leaves; I completely lost myself when I stood to see the clear sky which showed me the most promising view of Mount Everest. Believe me, I wanted to stay there forever, because Darjeeling seemed a different world to me - a dream world. Truth be told The whole world looked beautiful from Darjeeling.
The hilly region of Darjeeling takes its place on the Jalapar range; this puts me in mind that the range looked Y-shaped. My spirits went high when I saw how the range looked. Standing on the observatory hill it was a real pleasure to see the mountain range which stretched out its two arms towards the north.
Fully refreshed with the beauty around me my heart felt so light like a feather. I finished my first day in Darjeeling with loads of dreams for the next day.
A sip of the world famous hot black tea early in the morning gave me a great start to my fresh new day. We headed to the Lloyd’s Botanical Garden to see the rare species of flora. Himalayan plants also were adorable. Nestled within the evergreen forests of oak Sal & alpine, Darjeeling enjoys the temperate climate. The Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park preserved a wide variety of rare species of Himalayan plants which amazed me with a lifetime impression.
A ray of sunshine hit me at the sight of the wildlife of Darjeeling. Red pandas, I was all at sea for I didn't know whether the pandas were painted red or naturally red. Jaldapara wildlife sanctuary showed hog deers, rhinos, elephants, leopards and many more.
To mention about the foodstuff here, Tibetan Momo, It tastes like more; steamed meat served with clear soup & achar is Momo. Above all I loved the tea of Darjeeling.
Altogether I was over the moon in Darjeeling.
It not only serves as the best tourist destination but also a centre of Administration. The People of Darjeeling and the crowdy school children in their uniforms looked as pure as the driven snow.
Reaching Darjeeling is no big deal bus services & train takes you here safely. To head for the hills, it is advisable not to visit the place during the monsoons. If you are, then you are skating on thin ice. Darjeeling experiences heavy & concentrated precipitations, which leads to the loss of lives & properties. It is safe to book your vacation to Darjeeling during summer.
I returned from Darjeeling with heart full of memories. Even though I wanted to stay there forever, I had to get my facts right and so I got ready to face the rigors of my routine. Though the aspect changed the essence of the enticing cold breeze still remains within me forever.
