Conducting a workshop then travelling from Kalimpong to Darjeeling and then working on the report and sleeping late night and then waking up 3 hrs later at 3:30 a.m. on a cold chilly November morning to travel to Tiger hill to catch the sunrise (Oh! and I missed out bathing in the icy water) . It does sound painful ... but it was worth it and I must thank the wonderful Bishop Lepcha for making all the arrangements for the visit! You have to see it to believe why the pain didnt matter once I reached there ...
 |
| Finally atop Tiger Hill ! And there's something faintly visible out there |
 |
| Gradually getting brighter ... |
 |
| Didnt realize there were so many out there ... |
 |
| Sunrise happening on the other end ... |
 |
| Could hardly tell if it was a mountain or just another cloud |
 |
| All that snow gradually getting brighter with diffused sunrays hitting it |
 |
| More people gather in ... and hawkers selling coffee |
 |
| Hands getting numb but have to wait for that view everyone's waiting to catch ... |
 |
| Now that's pretty ... but that's not it |
 |
| Now look at what's happening to the skies ... |
 |
| The sun rises and gold starts flowing from the peak |
 |
| a bit more gold ... |
 |
| Quite some gold .... |
 |
| And my numb fingers can drop off now ... I have had the glimpse of gold that many people staying in Darjeeling haven't |
 |
| A Heap of Gold for everyone to salivate ... |
 |
| Not just the 3rd highest peak ... its probably the prettiest one too |
