North Bengal Tour 2021
Monday. 18th of October 8:30 a.m. Venue: New Jalpaiguri station

Butterflies! The most awaited trip so far in my counts! We started from yesterday night and reached today. The train journey was no doubt exciting. Now we’re to get our seat belts (well not really) in our cars and head to Ahaldhara. Did you hear the name before? Well I’ll tell you what. The management of fatty bags and all of those luggage was followed by the very sharp drive on the beautiful mountains. It’s going to take nearly 4 hours to reach Ahaldhara maybe. In the meantime let me give you the backgrounds.

This is a very first north bengal tour. Well, when I highlight ‘ our ‘ it’s barely of six people as the other seven had explored mountains before. Now when I say this, you must count the thirteen people, okay? It included the leads (my aunt, uncle and cousin brother), the others who’ve seen (my parents, uncle and new aunt), the new fans (cousin sister, her parents, my grandparents and the grand ME). Six months of planning has brought the shiniest moon today!

We first landed on a random place just for a bit of photoshoot with river Tista and beautiful hills all around. It was all in excitement, you know? When we first viewed such big and pretty creatures wrapped with lovely pearls of water, amazed at highest level were we. Now it seems very normal though. The other scenes seduced even better. In all, we halted at two places in the journey. Random ones!

On way to Ahaldhara, haze was foggy. Wait, mind not my rubbish words. It’s because I didn’t realise at the beginning that we were inside the clouds. Oh, “be cloudy, look cloudy, feel cloudy.” Well this was the caption to my whatsapp status with a graceful picture, I guess. As if angels gazing from cloudy sheets, we, beauty queens and ‘ kings ‘ entered the super beautiful tea garden that headed our homestay at Ahaldhara. Haha!

The road was certainly scary but let’s be grateful with our very hearts to the sharp drivers. The view was unremarkable and the feeling was so new! Off-beat, amazing and peaceful and beautiful and what couldn’t have been the virtue of the homestay! We had our lunch at nearly 5 and went to see the side scenes, just walking or ‘ strolling ‘. It was beautiful, certainly was it.

The coolie weather struck our hearts mainly when the naked beauty got its jewellery at...
