My dear Puja,

        After a long time I am writing this letter to you. Hope you are fine. Today I am writing this letter to share a visit to Darjeeling which I recently had. As you know my love for hills, I could not resist myself to visit a hill station.

Last month I went to Darjeeling with my parents and my siblings.

Darjeeling is a very beautiful place. The weather was very cool. We also enjoyed the snow fall at night. We got an excellent view of Kanchenjunga mountain at sunrise from Tiger Hill. It was a spell-bound moment. We also visited some other places of Darjeeling like zoological park, Batasia loop and steam engine led toy train. All in one it was a never faded memory in my mind.

If you have time to visit the hill station, go for it. No more today. Convey my regards to your parents.

Yours loving friend, 

Ronita
