Hello from Delhi. We just returned from a four day stay in Darjeeling. It was perhaps one of the most beautiful and serene places I have ever been. A quiet mix of Tibetans, Nepalis, and Bhutanese made a nice escape from the noisy and insane Indian cities. There are spectacular views of Kanchenjunga (India's highest peak). Unfortunately, we were not lucky enough to partake in these views, as it was cloudy everyday. But, the 75 degree weather was a welcome relief from the 125 degree weather in the plains none-the-less. Time in Darjeeling was spent walking through the jungle and vast foggy forests of Japanese cedar; shopping around at Tibetan antique merchants; sipping the world famous Darjeeling tea; and exploring the peaceful Tibetan monasteries. The heat and chaos of Delhi will again be interrupted by a trip north back into the mountains and a stay at Dharamsala, where the Tibetan government in exile currently operates.
Until the next time, everyone, keep it extra real...
