Himalayas, the beauty lies within the depth of the mystic cloud clad peaks of the worlds longest and highest chains of mountains. Hindus believe it to be the abode of Lord Shiva, the All Mighty.... even if you dont see HIM, but you can feel the ambiance of being in heaven. Love it or shout in it... miles around there is always a serene silence that takes your heart away from your body and lets you soul wander along with it.
Chilled....
and thrilled....
Thats how I would like to place the trip to Ravangla (several names: Rabongla, Ravang and in the colloqial spelling; Rabong), Southern Sikkim (INDIA) was in it self... intriguing!
Welcome to Ravangla (Somnath Paul, March 2011)
Onward - Any train to New Jalpaiguri Junction (NJP). From NJP, hire shuttles (Gypsies / SUMO / MAXX) to Ravangla, which is a 4 hour trip uphill. Per shuttle can carry 9 people in comfort, rated Rs 3500-4500. Height of the place 8200ft (approx).
Coming Back is a reversal of the situation.
There are many stories and memories that I have had with the MHG Group at Ravangla, which I would share in the subsequent chronicles' subpart. Till then, enjoy the above picture, as Ravangla is nothing less than the land of Dragon... a part may be!
