Riding in the misty hills up to Darjeeling. It was an incredibly steep road.
The winding steep road to Darjeeling.
On a clear day you can see all the way to Bangladesh.
The road was lined with Japanese cedars.
Taking a break from the killer hills.
Exhausted by the climb.
We stopped for momos in this little town called Sukhia.
Our hotel was across the street from this colorful monastery.
Young monk.
The train station at Ghoom. The road on the left leads back to Mirik and the one
the right heads to Darjeeling. There's a regular train and a toy steam train.

Now in front.
