Darjeeling Diaries

The War Memorial is located at the center of the Batasia Loop garden in Darjeeling. It has been created to honor the brave souls....
"Don't miss the view at any cost"

ASH dyke on way to Darjeeling



I would suggest you to reach the tiger point at the sunrise.. i missed out as we were a little
the peak of Kanchenjunga looks golden

"At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear"

With a 2ft. gauge, the Darjeeling Hill RAilway is indeed a 'toy train' being the narrowest of the regular narrow gauges. The tiny century-old engine is connoisseur's delight.

"How badly i wanted toy trains in my childhood, and here i was looking at the real toy train"

The 86 km Darjeeling line has no tunnels, thus the traveler can have have an uninterrupted view of breath-taking scenery, the roads beside the tracks is a beautiful picture to take..

"mere sapne ko rani was not shot here, but for sure it could have been"


The main station of Darjeeling 
"Thank you very much Darjeeling for making my day"

PC goes to my Brother.. i generally don't put my pictures coz it's a rare thing to get my pics clicked....


" sorry for the blues shade, I used the wrong settings... ek galti to sabko maaf hai " 


 The mountains call you like anything, you just cannot ignore it's beauty...
MT Kanchenjunga
" Love a DOG and love for mountains will be enough for you to live the life"

who ever started this design of houses must be the best architect the world woul have seen...
Just by seeing these houses you feel the peace.. 


"Speed thrills but Speed Kills"
the roads cannot be taken for granted on the mountain... luckily the driver escaped...


" MAIN HOON NA " was shot here..


Ghum Monastery built in 1875, located around 8kms from Darjeeling.
"You want peace You earn it" lines written here


nearby is a Japanese temple.....

Filters... and it looked beautiful...


"Smile is contagious and this man also acted in the movie MAIN HOON NA" 



"You are never too old to walk" 
If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress


"If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer: it just seems longer"


"If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gorkha."
-Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw

"The light you see at the end of the tunnel at times can be of an oncoming train..."
This toy train is on it's way to the war memorial 


"If death strikes before I prove my blood, I promise, I will kill death"
Lt Manoj Kumar Pandey PVC


" Colors will seem brighter when you keep the mind open"


" The road to this fall is amazing, Don't miss the road ride "





"Finally at the Darjeeling station"


" Guess the movies which have been shot at this school"


Rope way in Darjeeling 
it is good only when you don't have a cry baby sitting in the shuttle 



There are around 80 odd operational tea gardens in Darjeeling that span across thousands of acres of land area on open hill slopes... 
"Where there's tea there's hope...


I finally saw it after years... Steam Engine
Real Beauty


the toy train on it's way...


"When it's cold there's nothing better than fire"

A visit to golden temple in the morning, we wanted to reach there by 0330 hrs but as it is we slept off till 0500 hrs and we somehow managed to reach before sunrise, the gurudwara was lit up beautifully and i managed to click one, it is a suggestion for anyone who visits amritsar do visit the gurudwara in the night, it looks beautiful and alluring.  Some more clicks have been uploaded and depicts the morning scenery of the place, it could have been a little better but anyways, i will try the night photography in future and will try to improve upon. And yes do give your feedback... เคฆिเคจांเค• เฅฆเฅฉ/เฅฆเฅฏ /เฅจเฅฆเฅงเฅฌ the Main temple in between the taalab looks so beautiful at dawn as well at dusk people stand wherever they are during the final prayers line in the morning.. the Sun is rising and creates a beautiful เคฒाเคฒिเคฎा  the sky is all red  beautiful morning.... life is peace!!!!! the long queue to the main temple.... เคชเคตिเคค्เคฐ เคกुเคฌเค•ी  เคจเคฎเคจ

Someone told me  “So, you’re on Instagram? You must be an amazing photographer.” And I laughed… naah “Pujo” No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.     “It is   labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.” “ Colors are the smiles of nature” “ if only the flowers had souls” “clouds don’t follow the rules of architecture but they are still beautiful ” “ ye raat hamesha se haseen thi” “it was always a surprise in my childhood to open a LunchBox” “Smile is contagious” “he loves u more than himself” “If God had intended us to fly, he'd have never given us railways. ” “Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second” Bokeh  "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light" “There are beautiful things and it is better to leave it the way they are… don’t alter them” “There are things which are made beautiful”

I want you to stay in my mind forever, as we speak, as we dream. I would love to capture all your smiles forever. I would love to pull magic from my hat, squeeze the ice into water. just to dance on the water with you. I would if i could.... I would reach beyond my grasp to.... not to reach up to stars..  but to end up on the moon.... Well to start with where I left; I wanted to sleepover this one, But then Sagittarius traits won't let me, I wanted to sleep the only day i get off, but no the sleep won't come easy this time. After covering places in the blog, we had two more days at our disposal and Kasol was in the plan. My friend just called some of his friends who were on a trip nearby and that is how we came to know about a trek near Barshaini. Finally we decided to move with the kasol plan, with a slight change of camping at near Barshaini. As usual my first free advice here "Never plan your trips to the minutest of detail" The
