Travelogue 01: North Bengal Diary

Dooars, Darjeeling & Kalimpong 

A memorable, mind-blowing and fantastic journey

The North Bengal is considered as one of the tourism hubs in India. Throughout year, people come here to spend their holidays under the nature's lap. The beauty of the place is so ravishing that, if you go there, you will fell in love with the place, with the hospitality, with the hospitality and many more. Doors basically famous for sanctuary, national parks and tea gardens. Darjeeling is known as a city on the mountain. Similarly, Kalimpong is also situated on the mountain, but it were relatively of lower height.
How to Plan?  Even if you don't have any idea of sites, location and hotels, don't panic. People may plan even after going there. There are lots of Tourism companies available to help you providing a better itinerary at competitive prices.

My journey started on 22nd January, day before Netaji's Birthday. As usual we don't have any plan till 15th of the month. But we were fortunate that, we got confirmed ticket on couple of days before in a special train between HWH & NJP.

22/01/2015
6:30PM : Our train was from Howrah to NJP.

23/01/2015
6:30AM : Reached NJP. There we hired a cab up to Lataguri cost around ₹800

10:00AM : A sojourn at Doors
Reached Indrapuri Resort which was surrounded by Tea-Garden. The view of garden was so amazing that we could not resist ourselves for some snaps.

1:30PM : After having lunch at the resort, we went for wild safari inside Gorumara National Park (A Rhino Sanctuary). There we got chance to watch the animals life through different watch towers. I got some glimpse of elephants, rhinoceroses and snakes through Jatra-Prasad Watch Tower. 
n.b. We could have watched some more, if it were evening. Evening and morning is the best time, as animals used to come near towers for water and salt.

24/01/2015
06:30AM :  Lataguri to Siliguri By Bus cost around ₹60/- each person
10:00AM : We reached Siliguri. From there we hired a cab up to Darjeeling @ ₹800. We reached the Hotel around 2:30 PM.
03:30 PM : Had a glimpse of Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park and The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute.

25/01/2015
04:00AM : We got up early to watch rising Sun on Tiger-HillIt was amazing. 

26/01/2015 : 
08:00AM : Had a maiden rafting experience in vivid green water of  the Teesta River. Some of us enjoyed swimming but I will not recommend anyone to dive in this river because of two reasons. Firstly, the water is deadly chill which can cause to unconsciousness. Secondly, the river is not safe. There is lack of proper precautionary tool to handle any unforeseen accidents. So, avoid plunging into river.
09:30PM : Reached Kolkata by Train (It was also an special Train)

In one line, the Beautiful Darjeeling, Charming Kalimpong and Delighting Doors left me thinking of revisiting the place. I missed some exciting adventures namely Hot-Balloon and Sky Diving in Kalimpong and Rope-Way in Darjeeling.
But There should always be the second chance. Cheers!!😊
