Northern India Journey - Day 25 On The Way to Darjeeling - 6/1/2011

I spent a whole day on travelling. The train arrived at New Jalpaiguri at 4 in the afternoon. I went to the car-park near the railway station. I had found a share Jeep to Darjeeling. But very soon, the sun set already. I was a quite nervous how could I get to my hostel. There was no taxi at night in Darjeeling. In the midway, the jeep stopped for refreshing and rest. I met the other passenger. They were from India army. They were very nice guys. They saw my panic face and try to clam me down.
Finally, we arrived in Darjeeling at 8, as expected, everything there was closed. One of them help me to find a hotel and bargain with the owner. Although it was out of expectation, I did believe that was a good starting point of my Darjeeling trip.
