canvas the wind is blowing .The cold is so intense that it is impossible to stand. There is dew on the grass underfoot. Beautiful arrangement of nature lessons.

As the brightness of the light in the eastern sky increases, Kanchanjan whose form is changing every moment. What an unearthly sight that is. After that, Kanchanjaba and Akash changed completely when Suzyima appeared. Sometimes pale pink, crimson, orange, golden, yellowish, pale red, sometimes

At the end, Kanchenjunga is again and sparkling and the opportunity to sink into that abyss is white and white. The dawn of color in the sky. I don\’t want to lose. Kanchenjunga is

seen in the sky breaking mercurial colors and light. That is the sunrise manipulation.

I will not take pictures with the camera, I will take my eyes off the lens and look at the mountain peaks with my bare eyes, I will be disoriented. Tourists from other cottages became crowded. The moment of this morning when the sun rises seems to be sinking into itself. Other figures are composing me. me too

Come and sit on the porch of the cottage. Through the window of the cottage, Saparshad Kanchenjanjha came into view. Enjoying the change of color on the hilltop as time passes. The mahaldara the winter balcony. And modest cottages on the hilltops. Ahaldarai range in the Shelpu Hills of Karshiang Division is a new stop for the avid tourists.

Taking the well-known path of the Yatra, crossing the Magna Sevak Bridge, crossing the Kalijhora, left at Birikdara. The crooked and steep mountain road goes up towards Shelpu Hill. Goku Basti is at the end of the path through a forest of plain shal, bamboo, shar and buljaru trees. One storey two storey house, tin sloping rice. Colorful flowers, orchids, tubs of vines are decorated in front of all the houses. Then there is another town named Rollak Khasmahal in Sitong 3 area.

On this side tall trees are less, almost flat. Started \’Ting Cinchona Plant\’ forest. This anti-malarial cinchona has been

cultivated here on 1,400 acres of land since the British rule in colonial India. quite here. There are decorated houses, shops, nurseries, restaurants, community halls, spectacular government guest houses.

This time the endless solitary shade of cedar, oak, fir, cedar, cypress trees began again. Regularly broken paths. Next is Shelpu Khasmahal Taluk of Upper Sitong. Pineapple, ginger, orange, tea leaves, banana, cardamom, cardamom

The yield of trees is high here. Shelpu is surrounded by solitude

Namthing Pomri, an apparently dry water body in the hills,

a sheltered habitat for the endangered Himalayan newt or salamander. In front of the entrance, says Biodiversity Management Agency notice, this water body is the anthropogenic natural habitat of the natural animal. Activities not permitted

herein shall constitute a punishable offence. Amphibious salamanders,

however, have been around since the time of the dinosaurs. Their chameleon-like structure is a sight to behold

. Muddy water kills the beetle. In the monsoons, Namthing Pokhari turns into a toitumbar.

A walkway shaded by pine forests surrounds the reservoir. This time, more standard writing \’Welcome to Ahal Sunrise Viewpoint\’. Ahaldara\’s target is here. Then the rest of the boulder path. Here, after cutting the permit for 50 rupees per person,

the car stopped after swimming 1300 meters uneven uphill road. Our initial booking was already fine with accommodation, Padam Gurung\’s home stay. And yes, at the Ahaldara entrance it was also written, \’Tea gardens are now being planted. Later it could be compared to the \’hanging garden of Babylon\’. Ahaldars are 70 percent Shelpu

Belongs to Khasmahal, while the remaining 30 percent belongs to Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary.

Skipping the afternoon nap, I went to travel again in that car, Latpankar. From Shelpu Chowmatha one route leads to Latpanchar, another to Lower Sitong and another to Upper Sitong and Yogighat.

Now the sun is shining, the fog is wrapped. Latpanchar is a large village surrounded by hills in Darjeeling district, a friend of birds and silence in the lap of peaceful nature. \’Lat\’ means \’cane\’ in the Lepcha language. \’Panchar\’ means \’forest\’ in Nepali language.

Latpancher literally means \’forest\’ of cane. However, Lat Pancher\’s real name is

for the arena of birds. Angaral bird\’s chirping keeps the silence of the environment alert. Hornbills include Scarlet Minivet, Rufous Syria, Long-tailed Broadbill, Rufous Necked Hornbill, Yuhina, Black Bulbul,

Blue Whimring Grass, Gray Shrike, Green Magpie, Minivet, Eagle, Mila, Drongo, Robin, Himalayan Hornbill, Falcon, Oriental Cuckoo. , Chestnut Headed Teshia, Black Small Sunbird, Sultan Teeter, Red Headed Trogon, Orient Hornbill etc. about 240 species of mountain birds.
