Tour Itinerary

Many people ponder what they should do for a vacation and I realized a lot of people

don’t seem to share my views about traveling. I believe it’s very important to see the

world and different cultures. It lets us open our minds to new things and we get to

experience life in exiting different ways.

Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to

forget your problems/issues for a few wees! it can also help you figure things out that

you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you.

"nother great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It’s nice to live life to its fullest

and en#oy a stress free time with yourself. $oing on vacation lets us recharge our

%batteries& by disconnecting us from our regular life. 'hen we come bac we feel

invigorated and we are happy to be bac in our day to day routine. It’s a very good

stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.

Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new

customs! different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective

about life and especially our life! it can help us change some of our habits or even

create new ones. 'hen I travel I usually mae it a point to try new food! some cultures

don’t have fries in their diet and they are all sinny! others use spices to give taste and

not oils or fats. (iscovering different values and ways to get by in life is really

interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful

world has to offer.

New experiences increase our resourcefulness by living situations you would never

encounter at home! this is great experience for you when you come bac to your

routine. I have noticed that people who traveled a lot in life were ready to embrace

change and have a natural ability of overcoming problems that others would frown

upon.

'hen traveling with friends or family it creates memories for a lifetime. These

memories will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens with the

friendship/relationship. It can also give a new perspective on the relationship and

cement the bond forever. It also gives nice stories to tell people afterwards! you can

create photo albums about your trips and when you feel nostalgic you can tae an hour

of your life and experience the trips again by looing at your pictures. To mae things

positive all the way we need a perfect plan for each step! this is called Itinerary.

An itinerary is travel plan — where you will go, how will you go and how to

explore the beauties of nature at a glance.

Itinerary is a document in which the places you will be going to are listed. "ctually it is a

plan that displays how you will get from point to point in your travels and when you will

be at each point. If you want to visit an unnown place! you must have to have a perfect

tour plan. )therwise you may fall into some problems when you will be in that places

and ill your valuable times either.

%engal National &istory 'useum

If you lie to now about the fauna of (ar#eeling district and that of the state! don=t miss

out on the *engal 2atural -istory Museum. It=s only a few minutes downhill wal from

the 5howrasta Mall. It started as a modest effort way bac in @D0G when the then

$overnor of *engal initiated creation of a small museum in the *otanical $ardens of

(ar#eeling. " small building in the *otanical $arden was constructed at a cost of

+upees @!000 to display only the butterflies and birds of the area. -owever it was too

small and not good enough for the students and researchers to study the whole bird and

animal life in the region. Therefore the present building was constructed in @D@B at a

cost of +upees BB!000 to satisfy such re6uirement.

In @DHG! *engal 2atural Museum 4ociety was formed that too charge of the management of

the museum. It continued until @D after which the management was taen over by the 8orest

(epartment of $overnment of 'est *engal.


11/21

The (howrasta 'all!

The 5howrasta or the Mall is the heart of (ar#eeling town. ,ocated on top of 2ehru

+oad! this is a nice flat land where tourists and locals come to lounge in the sun! tae aseat on one of the many benches along the periphery! and watch the wonderful views of

the mountain peas and valleys all around. Mall is lie the town center or the social

center of (ar#eeling. This is where some of the old and heritage stores are lined up on

one side! and there is open view on the other with many pine trees all around. If you

want to feel the real vibe of (ar#eeling! watch people and activities! this is the place to

come. "nother thing that you won=t miss here... there are lots of young local lads with

their ponies offering horse rides to children. Many elderly tourists indulge as well.


12/21

Shru%%ery *i"htin"ale Park:

The 4hrubbery 2ightingale ?ar in (ar#eeling is a beautiful public par area. It=s ideal for

relaxing and en#oying the superb views of the 9anchen#unga and the other snow peas

of 3astern -imalayas. (uring the tourist season! 2epali cultural programs lie local

dances are held here every day in the evening. (uring the *ritish days in early @D00s!

this place was nown as The 4hrubbery. It used to be the private courtyard of 4ir

Thomas Tartan=s *ungalow. In @DG it was completely destroyed by an earth6uae.

8ollowing its destruction! there have been several developments that too place on this

area. Initially it became a place where the *ritish women resident in (ar#eeling would

come here to have a cup of tea and chat with each other. 4o it was more lie a women=s

meeting place.

In @DB0s and 0s! the par became a hot place for *ollywood films because of its scenic beauty.

In @D the then $overnor of 'est *engal Mr. " , (ias created a grand plan to redesign the

par to its present form. -owever in the @DA0s the 4hrubbery 2ightingale ?ar was sadly

neglected due to the tension in the (ar#eeling hills during that period.

Ti"er -ill

'hile we always tal about the sweeping views of sunrise from Tiger -ill and the view

of the colossal 9anchen#unga with many other snow clad eastern -imalayan peas from

here! but we hardly tal about the summit of Tiger -ill itself. True that the blaze of

rapidly changing colors of the snow peas as the sun stries is an awesome view! but

Tiger -ill is great even otherwise. It=s a destination by itself offering not #ust great views

during sunrise! it=s a place where you can soa yourself with -imalayan serenity

anytime during the day.

'hile I have been to Tiger -ill many times to experience the sunrise! I have also been

there several times during the day and en#oyed as much. Tiger -ill is located @@m :.A

miles; from (ar#eeling town and above $hoom. It=s the highest point in (ar#eeling hills at

on -ill 5art +oad :i.e. 2ational -ighway BB; that goes all the way to 4iliguri and taes

(ar#eeling=s landscape including the hill town and the snow covered peas of the

3astern -imalayas with the ma#estic 9anchen#unga on one side. "nd all this from the

middle of a lovely garden with flowers around which the toy train trac is laid.

*atasia means airy space. the "s you stand on one side of the garden and see the toy

train maing a complete loop while hooting its whistle along the way and trying to

negotiate the spiral trac with a double loop! it=s a fabulous experience. There are

seating areas as well to en#oy the views. The entire area along with the gardens and an

covered with grass and beautified with both seasonal and perennial flowers and shrubs.
