After entering Sikkim i went to Pelling and started the Monastry Loop Trek with a guy from New Zealand. Remoted villages and steep climbs through the jungle.. crossing lots of rivers where we went for a swim. Good fun.
Day 1: Travel to Pelling
Day 2: Hike from Pelling to Khecheopalri Lake
Day 3: Hike from Khecheopalri Lake to Yuksom
Day 4: Hike from Yuksom to Tashding
Day 5: Return to Gangtok or Darjeeling by vehicle
Map of the route through the Singalila Ridge Trek.
Plan is to go from Maneybhaniyang till Rimbik and takes about 5 days.
From Darjeeling hills where tea plantations stretch as far as the eye can see, to Sikkim, an ancient Himalayan kingdom of Tibetan culture, this trek offers breath-taking views of the Himalayan range from Cho Oyo to Kanchenjunga. The Singalila range is one of the rare spots on earth where the view embraces five summits rising above 8000m, amongst them Everest, Makalu and Lhotse. On these 19th century English Lords trails, you will trek on easy narrow paths along the Indo-Nepali border, sometimes at the edge of the jungle, sometimes through rhododendron forests. The visit of the main Sikkim monasteries (Pemayangtse, Tashiding, Rumtek) provide a touch of culture and make of this journey a rare venture.

Darjeeling
Today i visited the Darjeeling Zoo. This is where you can actually see some of the very high altitude animals and some endangered species that are rarely seen anywhere else in the world.
This zoo was set up in the Birch Hill area (now known as Jawahar Parvat) in 1958. It was then known as the Himalayan Zoological Park. In India, this is the largest high altitude zoo. It spans across 67.5 acres of area at an altitude of 7,000ft (2133m).
Some of the highlights of the zoo includes the conservation programs where you can see vulnerable and endangered animals like the Tibetan Wolf, Red Panda, Snow Leopard etc all in their natural habitats. And then there are Siberian Tigers, Yaks and lot more.
Afterwards i tried to get some information about the Singalila Ridge Trek. Which i plan to do tomorrow.
After travelling from Siliguri to Kurseong by Jeap (70 INR) I took the Toy Train to Darjeeling (30 INR) and arrived about 4 hours later there.
How are you? Is Darjeeling a nice place? What about the weather? Is in Nepal already wintertime? Best greetings dad
Hi Dad, all fine! Darjeeling is quite a big city in West Bengal and has a beautiful view on the himalayan mountains. Nepal is a good season to go till christmas season :-)

The sacred must-visit
Trip to Paro Valley and Taktsang/Tigers Nest. (2 days)
This region that spans from 2,600-4,500m is the religious heartland of the nation and home to some of its oldest Buddhist temples and monasteries. Tales of Guru Padmasambhava and the tertons (“religious treasure-discoverers”) still linger in this sacred region., The tourism industry in Bhutan is relatively young having been initiated only in 1974 at the time of the coronation of the fourth King. The industry totally operated by the government initially, in response to changing operational requirements was first corporatized in 1983 and finally with the privatisation initiative of the government, privatised towards the end of 1991.
Trip to Bumthang valley. (4 days)
First journey out of Thimphu.
Border Crossing
Crossing the border from India to Bhutan in Phuentsholing. Afterwards a 6 hour bus ride into Himalaya Mountains to the capitol Thimphu (2300m above sea level).
