Ghum (also spelt Ghoom) is a small hilly locality in the Darjeeling Himalayan hill region of West Bengal, India. It comes under ward number one of the Darjeeling Municipality. Ghum railway station of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is the highest railway station in India. It is situated at an altitude of 2,258 metres (7,407 ft). The place is the home of the Ghum Monastery and the Batasia Loop, a bend of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
Ghum is the meeting point of several roads. The Hill Cart Road from Siliguri to Darjeeling runs through the town. It is 6 km from Darjeeling. It is 24 km from Kurseong via Sonada. Kalimpong is about 45 km away via Lopchu. Another road leads to Mongpu and then on to the Kalimpong-Siliguri road. There is a road to Kurseong via Dow Hill. Sukhiapokhri, almost on the India-Nepal border, is 11 km on the road to Mirik.
Construction of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway started in 1879 and the railway track reached Ghum on 4 April 1881. Until 1878, the journey from Kolkata to Darjeeling took 5–6 days – using steam-engine-pulled trains, crossing the Ganges by steam ferry at Sahebganj, and then using bullock carts and palanquins. In 1878, Siliguri was put on the railway map of India, cutting down the journey to two days. In 2007, the train journey from Kolkata to New Jalpaiguri (a new railway station 6 km from Siliguri) takes about 10 hours. Thereafter it is 3–4 hours to Ghum or Darjeeling by road or 6–7 hours by the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. Those who are not eager to travel all the way from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling by the slow train climbing up the hill can enjoy a ride on the tourist train from Darjeeling to Ghum and back.

From Lava we hired a car to Lepchajagat. We had booked a dormitory and two rooms in the WBFDC bunglow. Some members from our group could not make it for the trip, so we were travelling few people less than the original plan. We spent our time in the nice dormitory. But we slept in the other rooms and left the dormitory empty. jayanti jointi joyonti buxa Santrabari jaldapara madarihat holong south khairbari khayerbari chilapata gorumara murti Malbazar chalsa jhalong bindu samsing Suntalekhola SuntaleyKhola Rocky Island Neora Valley National Park lava rishop rishyap Sillery gaon Sillerygaon Reshikhola Rishikhola Reshi River Rongli Zuluk Dzuluk Thambi View Point Lungthung Gnathang valley nathang Adi baba mandir old baba mandir kalpokhri kalapokhri kupup elephant lake Memencho lake memenchu r...

Check out my Darjeeling travel guide here - http://migrationology.com/2013/05/darjeeling-travel-guide-things-you-need-to-know/ | Have Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/migrationology Darjeeling, India, is located in the very Northern part of the West Bengal state. Coming from Kolkata, it's hard to believe that Darjeeling is actually in the same state, it's such a vastly different place. In order to get to Darjeeling, India, it's easiest to take the train to the nearest station which is located at New Jalpaiguri (known just as NJP by the train code). There's little to do in NJP, but from right outside the train station you can then board to a shared jeep and for 200 Rupees, you can take the jeep straight to Darjeeling. The jeep normally takes about 4 hours to reach the town and they wil...

Come on
You can feel her coming, coming at you
She, she's staying on you
You know she's coming at you
To resist her seems impossible
You can't do it, no you can't do it, no you can't do it
Hey lady what you say
How about some fun today?
Is it yes? Is it no?
Whatever it is just let me know
Don't fake me out, out
Oh, you make me shout
Alligator woman, you don't care
You ignore my desires, it ain't fair
You just want to tease me and turn me on
I wish you would leave but I don't want to be alone, no
Hey, babe I love you so
You know I don't want to go
Even though you're real laid back
You're dressed in black
And your hair is laid back
Hey lady what you say
How about some fun today?
Is it yes? Is it no?
Whatever it is just let me know
Don't fake me out, out
Oh, you make me shout
Alligator woman, you don't care
You ignore my desires, it ain't fair
You just want to tease me and turn me on
I want you to go but I don't want to be alone, ho
You're a mess, I must confess
You make me hot, with what you've got
Your big behind, it makes me blind
Don't take me gross but you're the most
You're a mess, I must confess
You make me hot, with what you've got
Your big behind, it makes me blind
I must be gross
Aw girl, aw girl
Aw girl, aw girl
Alligator woman, you don't care
You ignore my desires, it ain't fair
You just want to tease me and turn me on
I don't want you to stay but I don't want to be alone, now
You're a mess, I must confess
You make me hot, with what you've got
Your big behind, it makes me blind
Don't take me gross but you're the most
You're a mess, I must confess
You make me hot, with what you've got
Your big behind, it makes me blind
