Though the chill which we experienced during the month of January is not there anymore, its February 15 today and Darjeeling is still misty! In between we had some great sunny days, but the fog managed to blanket Darjeeling once again. My bike too goes into a hibernating state as the Darjeeling Tea bushes go, once the chill starts – thats what it had been doing – today I let it spread its wings a bit. Went on a short ride to a small village town which falls inbetween Nepal and India border – Maneybhanjang. This is the place from where the famous Sandhakphu trek starts!
Its great to ride on a huge highway, but its not at all boring riding on the slopes of the Himalayan mountains! May not be a speedy ride, but a ride amidst undulating tea gardens, hills and nature. Such was a ride today, close to nature which had clad itself with the drop laden clouds, though visibility becomes misty, its always best to ride slow and enjoy the weather!
Hope you like the photos!
