Hi,
We're on our last leg of our India tour and besides the poverty which is common on the streets, i wanna say, we throughly enjoyed ourselves! Goa was great, as was Daramsala where the Dalai Lama resides..the silver lining, ofcourse, was the visit to Darjeeling, The Queen of the hills! ..so they'll say.. We stayed at snowlionhomestay, which was run by a humble tibetan family. it' was a great experience for us to learn somethin about Tibetan culture and hospitality. We absolutely loved the food & Bed Tea & complimentary breakfast was something we used to look forward to every morning! The sheets were were always fresh too!
the tibetan staff were always cordial and helpful, be it to arrange for a taxi for some sight seeing or just to order a cup of darjeeling tea! The family presented us Tibetan scarves when we left...it was so touching...from darjeeling we went to gantok & stayed at Hotel delamare. the natural beauty of darjeeling,with the majestic Kanchenzonga range coupled with beautiful tea gardens made gantok seem like a poor cousin..Anyway so far so good, would love to visit india again...sophie.
