...cold with warm hearts Darjeelin...

...we are close to Nepal...very close in beautiful Darjeelin which feels like a different country, different culture. Today woke up at 4 am to see sunrise above Mt Everest and Lhotse, was quite misty but we manage to see the picks. Little mountain city is incredible...everybody really cares about they land and culture...no plastic bags allowed in the city, the awareness about the clean planet is very high compare to central north India where it doesn't even exist. People super friendly, nobody is charging you crazy prices or attacking to buy their craft...definitely the best place to relax form crazy chaos :) In few hours we are going to visit tee plantations...yes Darjeerin produces most famous tea in the world...and indeed it tastes incredible. Need to buy a bigger backpack since my shopping don't fit anymore to my little 30 L one. :)

...thank you everybody for sweet as usual comments, it is wonderful to read them here and they make me super happy. Rowena!!! it is great, I am super happy for Kiara and her trip...is he visiting your relatives? Tell her I wish her good luck :) Tomoczko and Gregi I am glad that you enjoy our steps on this land, land full of surprises, hey Piotr how was your trip? big hugs to all...miss you all
