TRIP TO SIKKIM

My summer vaccation started with a short and lovely trip
with my parents to Sikkim.
the trip was amazing.   We travelled from Bagdogra to Sikkim.
in Sikkim first we went to Rinchenpong in the west;Peling and then
Ravangla in south Sikkim.

The trip to  Rinchenpong was great but at the same time it was tiring.
We started our journey at 4:30  pm from Bagdogra and reached at 8:30 pm  but the entire journey was great because of the beautiful scenery. There was only a single   road which continued from the plains that is from Siliguri to the hills. The road was a little creepy, specialy at   night when the only  light was from the headlights of the cars from the opposite side as well as from ours . Sikkim is full of monastries where children stay in a hostel and study to be monks.
My memory of Sikkim is full of mountains, beautiful and colourful flowers, wide landscape, waterfalls and happy, friendly and cheerful people and the children who walk up and down going to school and back home .The girls in the hills look beautiful with their long , black and strait hair.
