Next
day, the hotel attendance wake us up very early in the
morning. We prepared ourselves for the trip and had our
breakfast before we left the hotel. After completed our
breakfast we got in to the jeep. We met three newly married
couple who went there for honeymoon. They were talking
themselves with romantic dialog and we enjoyed it very much.
It
is better to say earlier that our destination is Lauching. It
is a very small town of Sikkim. From Lauching it will take
approximately two to three hours to reach Yongtham . I am
going to a new town, Whole journey I was thinking about this
new place. |
| I told
you earlier that there were three newly married couple are in
our jeep. We were observing their activities and I was
thinking what are they doing. Is it called
honeymoon? Our guide was a Nepalian and he was younger than
us. His name is Gopal . He was talking with the mixing
language of Hindi, Nepali,&
Sikkimies . He
is a comedian also. The
guide noticed that we were feeling shy because of the
newly couples activities so, he told us “ did I enjoy it”.
After two hours of journey we
were going towards the mountain. It’s a too hilly with lots
of curve. One little mistake
in driving can cause life threatening accident. We
were very scared, the whole time we thought our jeep might
fell down from the mountain. I have traveled through mountain
road before but this is the first time I felt so afraid.
River Tista also flowing beside this mountain road. It
made me more nervous but it looks so beautiful. I never
thought beauty and dangerous things could go simultaneously |

We
saw a few waterfalls and we stopped the jeep to take pictures.
Rododrin flower are bloom in the side of the road. There is
waterfalls by the road. I cannot explain the total beauty of
the scenery. This can only be feel by heart. We
made friends with newly
married couples. They
are from Calcutta and Bangladesh.
We were passing our
time by chatting with them.
Gopal reminded us
that it was time for
lunch. We have forgotten about
our lunch. When Gopal
remained us, we felt
that we are so hungry. Our guide told the driver to
stop the jeep by the store.
It’s
a package tour so, everything was arranged by the guide.
While
we were eating, we felt that the food were
not
so delicious. It had very bad taste. Even though it was not so
good, we ate it anyway because we were so hungry.
