Off to Gangtok on the 4th of July...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17th June
Kolkata to Badhdogra, one way flight fare for 1250, now if this is not a steal then what is...
What is better than a steal? Getting the same deal again...
Baghdogra to Kolkata, return flight at the same price (including passenger fee, fuel surcharge, ADF...)...
As of now these are the only reservations that I have made.
Need to run some googles and make a few reservations.
Must see list:
- A monastry
- Cable car
- Buy souvenirs
22nd June
Looked up a few hotels and travel options, but yet to finalize anything.
My travel period not being the most sort after travel time, I presume accommodation should not be a huge concern...
Tried reaching out to a couple of Helicopter folks, nothing materialized...
Read up a little about Gangtok and Baghdogra.
Gangtok is only 4hrs away from Darjeeling, that is giving me a lot of ideas.
Toy train, now that is a tempting proposition...

23rd June
Came across this useful site: www.world66.com
It is a Wiki, in that it can be edited at will...
I ran a google on it for Gangtok but did not get anything that I did not already know...
However, it had a lot to offer for more popular cities like Amsterdam and Paris...

4th August
It was one of the better holidays that I ever embarked on...
Fairly eventful, extremely insightful and definitely useful...
I reached Baghdogra, drove up to Gangtok. Was in Gantok for almost 36hrs...
I can almost account for each minute that I spent, time very well spent...
I drove further up to Darjeeling and explored the place for a good 5hours...
A much more developed place but not as charming...
In Gantok, I came in touch with the spiritual part of my soul, a shade that I never knew existed in me...
