So we wake up the travel agent, cancel the hike and hocus pocus no more Gangtok traffic, we are off to Darjeeling, home of tea and twits (they use to go there to escape the heat)

But before that it is off to see a “Ganesh” made out of mandarin oranges04

We arrive in Darjeeling, just like Gangtok only with WAY MORE TRAFFIC. We check into the Elgin hotel then head out on the town. We buy some street food from an unlicenced food vendor

IMG_0367buy tea at a tea shop, go to a bookstore and go to bed early because we found another UNPLANNED EXCURSION AND CHANGE IN ITINERARY. We are going to go to drive to Tiger Hill for sunrise to get a look at the third largest mountain Kangchenjunga.
