It was difficult to wake up in the early morning as there was really cold. The car was waiting for me outside my my hostel at 4:30 already which I booked yesterday for
Tiger Hill. I was a bit late so the driver had to drive quite fast to Tiger Hill. There was a observatory tower on the top of the hill and a lot of people gather round waiting for the sun rise. Watching the sunrise is totally magnificent thing on earth. When the sun keep rising, there's a white object suddenly appear on the west side, which is
Khangchendzonga! At the beginning, I could only see a small part of the mountain. When time pass, the whole view of the Himalayas was emerged to my eyes. That's so beautiful and which is my first time to see the third highest mountain in Himalayas in such a close distance. After the sun rise, The driver took me to visit a Buddhist monastery. There were also many people who joined day-tour visit this monastery.

Finished the tour, the driver took me back to my hostel. I had my breakfast there. The boss invited me to take the breakfast on their rooftop. He was very wholehearted to show me the excellence view of his rooftop. I saw he was also breeding pigeons there. I was a bit admired his living style in a moment.

In the afternoon, I took a joy ride of the toy train. Since there was a serious landslide, most part of the toy train was damaged; The joy ride is the only way to enjoy the train. The train stopped at Batasia Loop and Ghum for the museum. The journey took about 2 hours. Before I went back to hostel, I went to the Observatory Hill to see the temple there.
