It has been a while but we are starting to get organised. We are now a team of two after Paul’s brother dropped out – something about a crook knee.
We are now booked on Singapore Airlines – we depart Saturday September 4th – Sydney to Kolkata via Singapore. We have one night in Kolkata before flying to Bagdogra on the 5th. We are staying at the Hyatt near the airport – we figure after the long flight from Australia a comfortable hotel close to the airport is needed.
Bagdogra has the closest airport to Gangtok in Sikkim. From Bagdogra we will get a bus/car to Darjeeling. We will have 3 nights in Darjeeling to acclimate ourselves with India and the higher altitudes. Still to confirm a hotel in Darjeeling. Then to Gangtok for 3 nights before the start of the Rickshaw Run.
This is where we plan to stay in Gangtok:
