Although this is the tenth time, I felt the same
lub-dub inside me like the first time when the train reached New Jalpaiguri
(NJP) station. As most of you know that NJP is the last EMU station before
Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong and entire Sikkim, so to me and my team members
NJP is the gateway of heaven.
This time our team consisted of 3 members – Mr.
Jyotirmoy Chraborty, Mr. Sourav Kamal Guha and myself. All of us are in service
industry. We three are like minded people. North Bengal and Sikkim are our
favorite places for holiday.
This trip was a long week end trip where three of us
were interested to enjoy win a relax mode. Though we all are hard core trekkers
but this time we decided to travel less but to stay surrounded by natural
beauty. We chose Lamahatta so that we can see Kanchenjunga Range from the
balcony with a coffee mug and there is some greenery, even we can trek a bit
also, if we find interest.

The
trip:
We took a shared car from New Jalpaiguri for Tista
Bazar. Tista Bazar is a junction where the road is bifurcated for Kalimpong and
Sikkim. We had breakfast at Tista Bazar and asked our hotel to send a car for
us.
