in the clouds


















himalayan views, darjeeling tea and hospitable nepali and tibetian culture made darjeeling a perfect escape from the oppressive pre-monsoon heat of the north indian plains. we spent 10 days enjoying the views of mt everest and the himalayian mountain range from our rustic corner suite at the bellevue hotel at the top of darjeeling. at about 6000 ft elevation, the daytime temperature rarely exceeded 65 degrees - a nice change from the 105 degrees of varanasi only days before… here are a few pics from our room. david
