Day 6 : 10th June,2019
Morning as decided wanted to start late. So, sat on the balcony enjoying the passing cloud and the drizzling with a cup of hot tea. We started by around 7.30 am . Planned to visit Pasupathi Market which is in Nepal. Had to park the car in the Indian Border show our ID cards and were allowed inside Nepal. Spent an hour in the market. Nothing to buy (full of cosmetics, dress and electronic goods)but was a different experience.
From there up to Darjelling the road was packed with Pine trees on both sides . Had lunch on route and checked into the hotel by 4 pm. There is this toy train safari inside Darjeeling and we were excited to see the train going . The tracks are on the road and one can see the train going now and then with loud siren sound. The resort we booked was below the road level. We had to walk 50 steps down are more to reach the hotel. Rooms were cozy and beautiful. The entire town of Darjeeling has narrow roads and steep hills. Driving was a real challenge. Really I should mention that the people as well as the traffic police there were real friendly and guided us very well. We were surprised to see police or local public coming out of the way to help us . Without them Darjeeling traffic would be a mess.
The manager himself took us to Japanese Peace Pagoda . Beautiful Monastry and participated in the prayer. Visited the Buddha statue and his life sculptured up on an elevation.
He then took us to the local market. Just walked by and had dinner.
He picked us back to the resort and had good sleep. There was heavy thunderstorm and rain by midnight . Weather was so pleasant. We couldn’t remove our winter clothes . Enjoyed thoroughly.
