Clouds and mist at this time of year in Darjeeling. Best time of the year to be in the Himalayas is from mid September to mid December for clear blue skies.
As it turns out there is a permit required to visit Sikkim, so we found ourselves exploring further this fascinating Tibetan, (Buddhist),Nepali, (Hindu) influenced mountain city. Endless lane ways weaving their way up and down, traversing this whole valley which must be 25 km by 10km. No Auto rickshaws (Tuk Tuks) here as there also are very few buses do to the severe angle of the roads and lane ways.


Hope you and Rob are doing well and weren't in Nepal when the earthquake hit. Hope to see another blog post soon.
