I took a flight โœˆ๏ธ from Dhaka Shahjalal international airport in the morning to Kolkata at 11.30 am. And I pre-booked my hotel ๐Ÿจ and vehicles through a local travel agency.

From Kolkata I took another afternoon flight โœˆ๏ธ from from Kolkata to reach Darjeeling city. It took me almost 1 hour and 15 minutes. From there, the agency provided me a car ๐Ÿš— to take me the hotel ๐Ÿจ. I visited there in mid October ๐Ÿ˜€.

I'm not a tea lover but I was mesmerised by the explanation of the guide. So I decided to check. Now it is time to test their authentic tea๐Ÿต.There was a menu ๐Ÿ˜‹ who wants to buy. And I bought 2 types tea๐Ÿต for test. One was first flush tea and the other was rose tea.It cost me around $6.

Fried rice cake and spicy dry potato curry .

Because of the previous journey and current journey I was quite exhausted and hungry. So I found a nearby restaurant and ordered their local vegetarian thali (mixed platter). It has a completely different taste from any other Indian cuisine. But super delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹.
