I went with my family and a bunch of family friends. We went in NJP Express from the HOWRAH RAILWAY STATION to NEW JALPAIGURI RAILWAY STATION.

Let's back to the Train story. That was an AC coach, we had company with a RAJASTHANI couple. Two different casts in same coach. we shared foods and too much of our religious information. We dispatched at 11 pm and arrived at 8 am. Seems like the time spent too quick. We left our train , good bye the couple, done breakfast and then we reserved a tour package.
There are many kinds of packages available for any budgets. From JALPAIGURI , it takes almost 6 hours to reach Gangtok from Siliguri. Technically people going to Darjeeling first and the Gangtok, but we did the opposite.
it was Like a rollercoaster ride. The most of the way is narrow way , one side is dangerous but beautiful Rocks and other side is beautiful but dangerous TISTA River. The roads are full of rain forests, yak and other animals and people doing vomiting. The vomiting is a normal part of traveling on hills.
After we arrive in Gangtok, going in room , take shower and then start walking. It was dark of the evening and almost every shop was closed. People walking , feeling the nature.then I saw the hill with lights . That view I can forget in my life and can't be described.
Next morning after finishing breakfast we reached to the pick-up point and then again starting of a rollercoaster ride. Our destinations were CHANGU LAKE, 7 POINT AND 0 POINT. I still didn't know what's that point means.. maybe temperature .

Good morning |
After a while of riding we stopped at a magical spot. That was a huge waterfall .

Magical waterfall |
You wanna ask me "why magical ?" . Because of the changing weather. One time foggy and other time scorching sunlight, one time freezing wind and then snowfall and rain.
After a couple of hours we reached to CHANGU LAKE. That was a killer view. One side is huge mountains and other side is beautiful lake which is freeze in winter. There was yak riding also available in CHANGU LAKE. After some shots we heading to the next target 7 point.

After we reached there looks like I always wanted to come here . I don't have words. There is a temple of Sardar Harvajan Singh and a temple of lord Shiva with a huge statue.

7 point |
There is interesting story about Sardar Harvajan Singh. " In one rainy night , Mr Singh was doin his duty . And accidentally he fell out of the hill . But people doesn't found his body , they said he still doing his job in invisibility. His family come to pick him in holiday". Who know what is true .
After that we tried to heading to next spot but guides said we didn't have enough warm clothes . So if you going to visit 0 point make sure you have enough warm clothes. We had to return.
While we coming back there was a incident happened with me . Our sumo stopped in a traffic jam and I get off the car and walking in rainforest. Then after we come to hotel I saw almost 5 leeches in my legs . It was almost 3 hours and I was about to unconscious . Be careful while walking on rainforest.
Next morning we headed to Darjeeling.
