After the treak we had couple of days at our disposal so we planned to visit Darjeeling from, it was just 4 hrs journey.
It’s nice place, can visit one time. Train whistle blowing every freaking second with free smoke traffic jams are common but people are used to it.
You should definitely try Nepali food from Nepali chulo, one of the best.
As we started our trek I was skeptical about walking for miles. Thanks to COVID I wasnt in good shape
Few kilometers and I was thinking “No I cant do it”. I was drained physically and exhausted mentally.
Rather than sitting and cribbing about it, I started coming up with a strategy. Energy bars, candies, quick breaks, water and self motivation kept me going. As I walked, enjoying the trail, wild flowers, beautiful mountains I realized how I missed the outdoor in last 2 years.
As we were approaching the check post our trek guide told us not to click any pics and behave ourself
High on energy I said to to the army guy “Good morning sir, how are you?”
No pleasant smile or grin, he scanned us and said “Where you guys are from?”
Still pumping on energy I said “Bangalore” while other’s whispered “Mumbai”, “Pune”.
Without taking much time he said “Bangalore lady take out your ID card”
That’s that, last time I mentioned Bangalore 🙂
SnL World !!!
