Road along the River Teesta, eventually takes you into the clouds!
To the city of Gangtok!
Beauty of the gurgling mountain streams as we crossed bridges over troughs and valleys on the way was simply mesmerising ! (1/n)

On reaching the RH, family members rushed to the mobile chargers, or to the toilets , जैसी जिसकी श्रद्धा !
But, I rushed to the windows to click pics of the valley down below !
Here are the pics.......(2/n)

There can be no hill station worth its salt which may not have a MG Road, or a Mall Road !
Gangtok is no exception !
First thing after the siesta, we all dashed to MG Road for the evening ! It was raining !
Found it a very lively place !
(3/n)

Even ropes cannot hold back an average Hindustani tourist from visiting a Rope-way, even one is available around ! We were no different !
Some pics of the area in and around the Ropeway ! (4/n)

And some general views of the town ! (5/n)

(To be continued .....)

Halfway to Nathula, you have the fascinating Changgu Lake !
Also called Tsomgo Lake.
Unforgettable.(10/n)

And finally the cherry on the cake ! A visit to the Nathula Pass !
Logistically and physically a very difficult venture !
Am posting pictures clicked only on the initial part of the way.
