Day 1

Started my journey from Siliguri to Aritar at 8:00 AM.
Through Hills n River Teesta the journey was marvelous.
Reached Aritar at 2:00 PM. Had my lunch at my hotel then visited Lampokhari Lake that was 20 minutes walking distance from my hotel. The way from hotel to lake was so beautiful long pine trees both sides of road and weather was so pleasant.
Spent some beautiful time at lake, in the evening had some hot momos there at local food stall with green tea.
Night was so silent at Aritar had a peaceful sleep.
