Memoirs of Darjeeling: Tiger Hill

Remember the taste of that tea you were sipping in all throughout this day- that’s one of the best in the world. Speaking of tea, how unforgettable would that be that you haven’t shown any fear of heights while riding that cable car because you were too amazed to look over hundreds of acres of tea garden.

And when you couldn’t make it to that famous “toy train”, don’t forget how you content yourself by taking few snaps of the train station and how amazed were you to know that the railway is at almost 2 feet wide. Such a “toy train” indeed but has its ancestral site on its belt.

As much as you liked watching rare animals in the zoo, you would have surely enjoyed the visit in Tenzing Norgay’s museum. Remember how get yourself crazy over this famous mountaineer’s statue and his cremation site. As if it’s not enough, you have still captured secretly their equipment used in their first successful assault in Mt. Everest.

And when it’s time to leave and before you slowly descend that more than 10k ft deep, remember how blessed you are to have these first hand experiences.

May you always remember this day with so much gratitude to those people who make this possible.

Remember the excitement that made you almost sleepless the night before your trip. That moment when you had to wake up countless times before 3 am, the scheduled departure time.
