I have been very excited about this trip and longing to share my adventure. We started our journey from Kolkata. Boarded Darjeeling mail train from sealdah station and we reached new jalpaiguri railway station the very next day early morning. It took 8hrs to reach NJP. We took a shared Jeep to gangtok. It took around 5 hrs to reach our hotel. The view was exciting and the cold chilly wind was enough to mesmerize me for the rest of the trip.
We reach Gangtok in the afternoon, after some rest and a good meal, we decide to hit MG road which is the main centre of attraction of Gangtok.
On the way to Nathu la Pass, Tsomgo Lake and Baba harbhajan singh ji pilgrimage.
The weather was beautiful... The floating clouds and below the hills made it look more beautiful... We were waiting for the long que of traffic jam to get resolved meanwhile getting the chance to enjoy the mesmerizing view and being still for just 1 second of the moment.
