Darjeeling: Within the Old-Aged Practices, Establishments and Himalayan Mountains

Darjeeling is one amazing place sitting at the foot of the Himalayas with an elevation of more than 2,000 meters above sea level. Seriously when I get in there, it made me feel like I’ve climbed up our very own Mt. Apo, which is also a 2-thousander mountain (in meters).

But its credential doesn’t only rely on its elevation. Darjeeling is in fact the home of world’s famous Darjeeling Tea, the museum of none other than Tenzing Norzagay and exotic animals I’ve never knew existed. Aside from that, the locals seem to have been able to preserve the British remnants and century-old establishments as well as exotic animals I’ve never knew existed and of course. Most importantly, Darjeeling prides itself having the enormous sight of Mt. Kanchenjunga which is visible in almost every corner of Darjeeling.

South Sikkim: A Gem in West Bengal

 

When you say risky roads, these are those roads which are near the cliffs and sometimes, with no barricades at all. One small mistake and you’ll plunged to hundred of feet deep.

You’ve also learned that in this foreign land, beautiful sunrise or overview aren’t always the purpose of going at the top of the mountain. Rather, people go there to pay respect as it is where great symbols of of their own respective beliefs are erected.

Once again, remembers all these days. These will soon be missed.

 

 

 

 

Batasia Loop: Railways and Heroes

With Mt. Kanchenjunga as the backdrop lies the memorial for the great soldiers who fought for their motherland.

If there’s so much patriotism in this country, the credit goes to these courageous soldiers in the past. Like in India Gate, Batasia Loop bears the name of those heroes who helped set this country free from the colonizers.

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.
