India (Darjeeling, West Bengal) Sept/Oct 2019 Part 3 (Happy Valley Tea Estate/Peace Stupa/Druk Sangag Choling Monastery)

My 4 days 3 nights (3-6/10/2019) Jalan Jalan (Walkabout) in Darjeeling 

1) Happy Valley Tea Estate, Darjeeling (since 1854) - home of the finest Darjeeling tea; no farm activities today due to a religious public holiday in Darjeeling; so we decided not to walk downhill to visit the tea farm but took a number of pictures of Happy Valley estate from the hillsides ! 

2) Peace Pagoda, Darjeeling (1992) & the surrounding hillside & mountain sceneries - one of the Peace Pagodas designed to provide a focus for people of all races & creeds to help unite them in their search for World peace. Other Peace Pagodas / Stupas I visited in India were Shanti Stupa (Leh/Ladakh) & Ragjir. 

My Good Old Days - other Peace Pagodas / Stupas I visited in India in recent years - Giriyak Hill Stupa (Vishwa Shanti Stupa), Rajgir - Maharashtra in 2018 & Shanti Stupa in Leh/Ladakh in 2007
