I was visiting Darjeeling
with my friend for the very first time. As our taxi started from Siliguri an as
soon as the taxi started to move uphill we could feel the fresh air as it was
pleasurably saying us welcome to Darjeeling, the Queen of Hills. The summit of
sprawling hills seems talking to the clear skies was truly amazing and out of
the world for me and my friend. Climbing the hill through a narrow road with
numerous zig zag roads truly was a thrilling experience. The narrow road
running in between the dense forest with cool and fresh air all around put
spell on us, and we were truly mesmerized by the bounteous nature as never witnessed
before.
We reached Darjeeling For

I remember our driver had dropped us near Chowk Bazaar; latterly I came to know
that it was the oldest market and really it was very busy. My head was aching
like thousand devils I don’t know it was due to cold or http://globalvisiontours.com/Darjeeling.aspx
what but it was really taking off my happiness of being in Darjeeling. We asked
the cab driver as we got down to the nearest medicos as to buy some ‘disprin’
as he pointed us to a medical shop it was not far away from us.
As we moving towards the
medical shop we witnessed a Gol Ghar Resturant in the bazaar and thought of
coming of there after buying the medicines. As we were buying medicines we
asked that man the best place for snacks and tea in this area. He then very
politely pointed to us a Sweet Shop named Naryaan Das just front of the shop. We
went there and had tea along with hot ‘samosas’ relishing and I took my
medicine too. After some moment I was feeling better and then we came out of
that restaurant and just beside that restaurant we saw enormous crowd covering
a man. As we went closer to it we saw that man was selling ‘Aloo Chaat’ and
came to know it was very famous here. We gave it a try Rs 10 per plate and
really it was very delectable and mouthwatering.
Then around 4 pm we
reached our hotel where we had booked in advance a room for 2 nights and two
days in Hotel Seven Seventeen, here we unwind our self and relaxed a bit. After
than we came to the receptionist she was a very beautiful lady with smiling
face, we asked the way to Chowrasta as we had heard about this place. She
smilingly replied first time in Darjeeling and I to smiled and replied yes. She
said my shift is over you can wait for five minutes I too am going to meet my
friend in Chowrasta and if you don’t mind I can walk up with you. The very next
moment without thinking of anything I uttered yea!! Why not?? She smiled again.
Well when walking with her
she like our guide offered and showed the places, it was very good and we were
enjoying it and thinking how friendly she was. We were on the Mall Road she
said it was very busy street and then she said I have to leave now and sorry
for that. I said you should not be sorry and we are very thankful to you for
helping us till here and then she departed from us. We were on Mall Road just
beside one of the oldest coffee café in Darjeeling named as Keventers. Just
beside the Keventers we saw numerous ladies and men roasting fresh corns and
thus we corn on the cob which was offered with salts and lemons rubbed on it.
Truly streets foods in Darjeeling seemed to be very hot and stimulating.
Well the curtain of my
first trip to Darjeeling doesn’t drops here, I will mention about numerous exciting
places, delectable foods and lot more on my visit on my next post.
