Most of you must be knowing that India is a mystical land where you can expect the unexpected every moment once you have landed in India.

I would like to stress on a particular place called Darjeeling which I too was unaware of. It was surprising because just for a distance of about 75 kms of hot sun and pollution you suddenly find a place cool and totally different from India whereas Darjeeling is a part of India.

Full of ethnicity, monastries, tibetan people, nepalese people - most of them seems to have a mongoloid feature and no dark skins seen and if it is seen then just a few.

Great view of Mt. Kanchenjuga, considered to be the World's Third highest peak. Great place to visit.
