“In Darjeeling, the clouds don’t just pass by — they walk with you.” Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, Darjeeling Mall Road is more than just a promenade. It’s the heartbeat of the hill town — a blend of colonial charm, peaceful culture, and quiet mountain magic. In early February 2025, I had the chance to witness Chowrasta , the central part of Mall Road, like never before — in a rare off-season calm, wrapped in clouds and mystery. And this time, I decided to capture it in a unique way: entirely in slow motion . 🎥 Watch the Full Slow Motion Video Below: 👉 Click the video below to experience Darjeeling’s Mall Road like you’ve never seen it before — from a foggy morning to a softly lit night under the stars . (Be sure to wear headphones and enjoy the ambient sounds and voiceover!) 🌫️ The Morning Mist — When the Hills Whisper We began our walk just after sunrise. The clouds were rolling fast , the fog was thick , and visibility was low — but beautiful. From the hotel balcony, ...

Sittong & Rishop Trip by Eshan Kandar 22nd March, 2022 It was around 8 PM when we went for Sealdah station.. we reached there at 8:45 pm.. so, then I took my luggage, and my mom and dad took rest of the luggage then we walk towards the train but I noticed that the station is fully renovated then we walked back to our lobby S5. When I entered the train it was dark because the fuse was down.. Then at that moment Baban, Chandana aunty, Bappa kakai and Prasenjit kakai came. We got dissatisfied by seeing the dark compartment, at last the light came, we ate Misty-Sukh, Jolbhora misty and cakes. At 11 PM we fell asleep, the night was awesome. The breeze, the shaking train, my dream was awesome.. 23rd March 5:45 AM, I woke up and looked outside but there was nothing to see as it was foggy outside, at last everyone woke up. I went for the brush and came back. Mom gave me two biscuits and I had them. Me and Baban went up and started writing our diaries. Then the coffee uncle came and gav...

TREKKING INTO THE DOORS OF HEAVEN Watch the cover video: Still, it feels like yesterday. Actually, it was an impromptu journey to the Himalayas. Obviously, I was feeling a little bit jaded, exhausted from the mundanity of Work-Eat-Sleep-Internet life, so me and two of my college friends thought of escaping from the industrious life to the Himalayan paradise, a snowy trek to Kedarkantha. This trek is no doubt a potpourri of natural beauty and mythology. This is one of most popular snow treks in India. Do not mistake Kedarkantha as a place, it is a mood which is congested with the redolence of petrichor. The Himalayan beauty fits the bill for a perfect trekking destination.   Kedarkantha is the quintessence of serenity; no hullabaloo, no fuss, no uproar except the sweet notes of chirping.   The itinerary for the trek was something like this: ●        Day 1 Trek: Netwar (Gaichan Gaon) → Jalouta ●        Day 2...
