A Little Bit of Darjeeling


The Druk Sangak Choling Gompa in Darjeeling

For the time being, here’re some pictures of Darjeeling taken 2 years back… Darjeeling was at the centre of a protest movement to create a separate state called Gorkhaland (the majority of the people in Darjeeling are of Nepali decent, and Nepali, or Gurkhali, the Indian version of Nepali, is the main language in Darjeeling).
