My Annual Examination was over. So my father decided to visit Darjeeling for a change. We went to the New Jalpaiguri by the Darjeeling Mail. Then we got into the famous toy train, it moved on in a meandering course through the hills. Tea-gardens on both sides, beautiful scenery made us spell-bound. In Darjeeling. we visited the zoo, the Botanical Gardens, the Victoria Falls, the Museum, the Tiger Hill etc. The snow clad mountain peaks presented a picturesque view. Fine view of Kanchanjanga was really thrilling. The sun shone brightly and kissed the top of the peak. I could not feel how the days had glided by there. Yet, the memory of my visit to the queen of the hills is still fresh in my memory.
