Archive photos of The Dalai Lama in Darjeeling

When it comes to His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, Darjeeling has always been his favorite spot of visit from decades. He has been visiting Darjeeling for a very very long time.

I too got a chance to get close to him once and the divine presence was felt as soon as I saw him. This was quite sometime back. I presented him a silken scarf which all do and he gave it back to me. Its still with me.

However these photos posted below are not mine, it was clicked by my friend Joseph Thapa, now settled in Italy. Thanks Joseph if you are reading this. Thanks for your permission to publish it.

Thats snowy Darjeeling

Sometime ago my friend Samir and I had the chance to click some photos of Darjeeling when it had snowed. Thanks to Samir for letting me get this photos showcased here.

The snow factor in Darjeeling is not a promised forecast but we do get snow in Darjeeling during the winters when the weather conditions dip below zero. I cannot recall which year, but it had snowed on the day of Christmas and we were all blessed.

Enjoy the photos! I remember the chill wanted me to crave for more of Darjeeling Tea – nice and hot!
