Darjeeling-Sikkim

This has been a splendid year so far. I got myself a Nikon D-5200 and did some traveling with it.

If you want to reach out to me for some reason, this is me. Otherwise, keep scrolling!



The epic trip to Darjeeling-And-Sikkim, India, April 2017

Lachung, Sikkim

This is Lachung, dubbed The Switzerland of India (like many other places with snow), an exceptional beauty.


Lachung
One of the few chai-walas in the chilling cold. Her best seller is the local rum though. She serves it with hot yum Thukpa. :)

Last points of vegetation atop the hill
Not sure how long these ones survived.

They don't call it Switzerland-ish for no reason.



Gangtok, Sikkim
Back to the part south of The Wall, this is a Buddhist monastery in Gangtok.


Gangtok
A city so tightly packed, yet so wonderful.


The magnificent grand old Darjeeling Himalayan Railway
Toy train in Darjeeling, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.



Darjeeling
Accompanied by the roaring sound of the Steam Engine, the Toy Train lets you capture the entire glory and beauty of the city in a 3 hour long ride.



Holi 
Kids celebrate Holi, a snap from within the Toy Train

Keeping her pup safe from the colors. :)

Gangtok gave us all beautiful memories. I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone. So does he.
