The summer vacation in New Delhi begins in May 1st every year. Much before it began,<br />we started planning how to spend it. I suggested that we should go to Shilong. But my sister<br />insisted that we see Darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with<br />one month's stay at each place. So, it was decided that we would be going first to Shilong<br />and then to Darjeeling. We left the New Delhi railway station four days after the vacation<br />began. It was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached Guwahati in the evening.<br />The next day, early in the morning, we drove to Shilong. We stayed there for nearly a month<br />in the hotel. The climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places<br />of interest. We left Shilong on June 4th. On our way to Darjeeling, we travelled by train.<br />We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached Darjeeling at about noon. We took<br />a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier arranged by my father. One<br />day, we went to the Tiger Hills by taxi at 4am to enjoy the famous sunrise. It was a<br />wonderful sight which we had never seen before. And that was the last day of our vacation.<br />The summer vacation in New Delhi begins in May 1st every year.
