Darjeeling is a "Hill Station" which is located in north east of India, it's altitude here is 2150 meters above sea level and the air is cleaner than any other place we stayed in the country so far. what makes this town very famous is the Tea estates here which suppose to export one of the best (and expansive) tea in the world!

Unbelievable how 2 places at the same country can be so different, here the people are much nicer - no hassling, you can barely find buggers on the streets, just kind people who want to help with no interest, the girls here are much more beautiful, the streets are cleaner - no crap on the ground, and even the weather here is cold.
The journey here was not a treat, it took us 25 hours from the moment we left our hotel room in Varanasi until the moment we arrived to our new room in Darjeeling.
We spent here a few days, trying to digest these differences, the street markets here are really something that worth to visit, the verity of colors, smells and sounds are powerful.
While we were exploring the streets and alleys we spotted a local school and decided to pay them a visit, the teacher who spoke with us really expanded our minds regarding the Indian education system.
It was very interesting to walk along the tea bushes and to learn so many things in the Everest mountain museum.

Next we are going to Sikkim which bordered with China, Bhutan and Nepal, that was the reason why we spent few hours to make the permit for foreigners.
