Continuing from our last part where we had seen great view of Himalayan mountains and the calm , serene Ghoom Monastery we set towards or next station Mirik.
Mirik, a recently developed hill station that is around 50 kms from darjeeling is increasingly becoming popular with tourist. There is this samendu lake that sets aside this small hamlet from other hill stations of the area. Samendu lake lies right at the heart of Mirik. Boating facilities are provided by the lake side, they are the small paddle boats mostly four sitter. Lake provides a great view of the mountain and forest surrounding it. A rainbow bridge connects the beautifully maintained garden on one side to the other. Long side walks are placed around the entire circumference of lake which helps you ease your mind with each step we take.
On he way to Mirik there is a small market place which actually lies on India-Nepal Border. It is simply marvelous to see how a small village can be divide between two countries. Over there is a small Out Post that keeps tracks of visitors crossing over to Nepal border and vice versa. Entering ur info there make u free to roam the Nepal market that roughly about 3km. There are taxis ready to provide you the service or u can always hitch a ride. But don't you dare to venture into nepal without your passport.
After entering Nepal and roaming about here for some time we started on our return journey. The winding road was through tea fields with women picking out tea leaves. Looking all around one can only see the green tea fields which was a sight to remember. After this small excursion we returned to Darjeeling. It was our Last day there and we had to repack our stuffs. Truly Darjeeling in real sense Darjeeling had been the Queen of Hills for us, for never before had we seen such a beauty and serenity anywhere. That day we packed out stuff and slept calm while the nature out side covered Darjeeling with sheet of clouds for a good nights sleep.
Next Day we began our journey towards Pelling. I will write about it later for time being have a nice day and do mail me your suggestions.
