Have been travelling to the Himalayan regions of my country now for the past 5 or 6 vacations and have fallen in love with the mountains. They are awe-inspiring and beautiful at the same time. These pictures are from the eastern part of the Himalayas, from the north-east state of Sikkim. It is also close to Darjeeling which is famous for its tea gardens and the ‘Darjeeling tea’. A land of rivers and mountains that extend beyond one’s vision. 
The Teesta River
The mountains covered with clouds seem to be reaching the heavens beyond
Mountain Roads!!
The tea gardens extending way beyond the mist
the sun setting beyond the layers of mountains
Beautiful layers of landscape
Thank you!! to me mountains are such a delight to watch and I can never tire of them.
I agree…they have a mystical and enchanting energy….and I love the way the weather swirls and changes around them
Mountains and rivers — I could look at them all day. And those tea gardens are amazing.
Thank you so much!! It WAS really amazing to see those tea gardens. Hills after hills are covered with the tea bushes, as far as your eyes can see.
