Saint Augustine famously said, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page”. Keeping these words in my mind, I set out for a trip in search of my inner self and to be in the lap of nature and the city I chose was Darjeeling. I fell in love with the town the minute I got off there. The magnificent view of the hills, the mist, clouds and the sun playing hide and seek with the clouds. The beauty of the city cannot be described in words and one has to travel to Darjeeling to experience it. As soon as I landed in the city I realized that it was the right destination for me to drink in the scenery and be as close to nature as I could. Contrary to the belief that Darjeeling has nothing other than hills and waterfalls to see, the city offers one so much to view and take in.
The town is usually cold throughout the year. The town can be reached through Air, Road and Railway:
By Air: the nearest airport to Darjeeling is Bagdogra (95 kilometers away from the city). There are direct flights from cities like Delhi, Kolkata and Guwahati. It takes almost three hours to reach the city from the airport by a taxi.
By Train: the nearest railway station to Darjeeling is New Jalpaiguri which connects the city to all the major parts of the country. There are number of trains from all the major cities of the country.
By Road: Darjeeling is well connected by road to all the nearby cities like Gangtok, Kalimpong. It is also connected by road to Kathmandu (the capital of Nepal).
My trip to this wonderful city started with a breathtaking view. I parted the curtains of my hotel room and there it was! Kanchenjunga! The entire range was in front of me in full view, snowcapped and dazzling in the sun. My trip started early in the morning the next day. I woke up at 4 am and reached tiger hill at 5 to view the sunrise as the place has earned international fame for the best sunrise view. Tiger hill is situated at an altitude of 2590 meters and is 13 kilometers away from the city. Although Kanchenjunga was very much visible from the window of my hotel room but viewing it from tiger hill was a different experience altogether. It wasn’t a very cloudy day so I was lucky enough to also get a glimpse of Mount Everest. After tiger hill I found myself near Senchal Lake which is near Tiger hill and is a picnic spot. I was told that the lake supplies drinking water to the town.
