In the Laps of Himalaya

New life, New day, New Place Sikkim in the Laps of Himalayas, Yes that's where we went to start our new married life.

Fresh day starts with sun shining on Kanchana junga

Priya and Myself with the backdrop of Kanchan junga


Treat to Eyes, Treat to Ears is the roaring noise of River Tista

Monastery the integral part of sikkim

A young Monk in making


The Prayer wheeels, You rotate the wheel its as good as saying the prayer.

Amazing Painting at the Monastery

Calm and Quite the buddha

Nothing less then walking on the Ninth Cloud





Glimps of Mt. Katao on the way to pelling from Gangtok


A unknown trekker, for him treking is more of neccasity than a Break



Changu lake at Height og 12,000 ft, Hardly 20Km from the lake is Nathu-La, unfortunatly we could not make it to that place :-(


This reminds me of Onake obavva, a less seen sight in our life




One of the Many Mejestic View of Kanchanjunga ( 8586 mt ) from pelling


Zero point as they call it is the end of Indian Civilization in north of Sikkim





Beautiful Tea Estates of Darjeeling







Gurkha War Memorial in the Batasia loop, now for some Gyan, Batasia loop is on the toy train route from Darjeeling to NJP, a loop is a part where the track takes a turn and passes over itself as a bridge to gain quick height, one of most used techonlogy in Mountain railways.


The World Famous toy train Engine being filled with water in the middle of the road half way thru the trip.



With the toy train raids ends our 12 days trip to Sikkim and Darjeeling. Now we are back in the reality of life, and sad that the honey moon is over.
