Moving Day Darjeeling to Delhi

This morning we set off from a foggy Darjeeling where the clouds had descended over the town to Bagdogra airport, a 3 hour descent through tea plantations. The roads were narrow and steep but visibility was better and the views over the valleys amazing as we got lower.

Sad to leave the hotel it had a Colonial charm unlike any we've stayed in this trip, will particularly miss the view from the window and sitting with a drink and a book

The airport was the normal chaotic administration - different rules at each airport we've been through.

Arrived at our Delhi hotel at 8pm (a long day of travel today) grabbed a quick drink in the bar then we headed out for Chaat - via some cycle rickshaws as no tuktuks or taxis would take us such a short distance!! The ride was a scary 3 minutes of driving against the traffic on a huge dual carriageway !Leggi altro
