Day 1: The Journey Begins (4th October)

Group at Howrah Station

The excitement was palpable as ten of us—Anuj, Yash, Rohit, Deep, Sowmya, Hrishika, Snigdha, Saya, Bishes, and Mech—gathered our backpacks, brimming with anticipation. The destination: the enchanting landscapes of Sittong, Lamahatta, and Darjeeling. Our first step was reaching Howrah Station, where we would board the train to NJP (New Jalpaiguri), the gateway to our adventure.

Laughter, chai, and endless discussions about our itinerary filled the air as we settled into our seats. The train rolled forward, and with it, our excitement soared. We spent the night sharing travel stories, playing games, and stealing glimpses of the moonlit fields outside the window.
