It’s been 2 nights 3 days since we were in Darjeeling yet could not get a glimpse of the Kanchenjunga. But yesterday when we were in the cable car (rope way), we got the first clear look of The Kanchenjunga and instantly we decided for Tiger Hill for the very next morning.
It’s 3:30 in the morning and we were ready inside the car and by 4:15 am we reached the Tiger Hill observatory point. The road’s condition after Sonada was really bad. As we started real early, our car was able to reach quite near to the observatory point. I bought two 2nd class tickets for us as they ran out of the 1st class tickets. We directly went to the 1st floor and managed 2 seats for us in the front row near the glass window. It was very cold and people who were outside must be feeling the chill bite of the near freezing wind. And then there were a long wait for dawn till around 5:15 am.
When the first light of dawn broke, everybody was amazed by the nature’s beauty. Just before the sunrise the sky started to change it’s color from black to blue to red finally. The icy peaks turned bright red to orange and suddenly the sun jumps up behind them and starts it’s own magic of colors. As the sun rises everybody started taking pictures. Some with their fancy cameras others with their mobile phones, some trying selfies etc. But, right then I knew that even the world’s most fanciest instrument, will not be able to capture the majestic beauty of the great Kanchenjunga, so I preferred to witness the whole show by my mortal eyes. I still have that divine view in mind, in my eyes, beyond words and understanding, it seems God really exists.
