Bagdogra to Gangtok: 10-Oct-2017, 14:45:

It’s been 10 years since I last visited Sikkim. In April 2007, I was here with Swarjit and had stayed in Gangtok for Four nights. I remember that we had gone to Tsomgo Lake, covered the popular spots around Gangtok and also managed to do some white-water rafting on that trip. It had been one of my best travel experiences up until then – we had intended to explore more of Sikkim but because of work commitments, we could not do it.

This time the agenda is different. We will be staying in Gangtok but our focus is to travel around North Sikkim. Right now, we are on the road from Bagdogra to Gangtok, driving through the hilly roads. Weather is cloudy but the temperature feels like home.
The journey has started to ignite some old memories from my last trip.

Looking forward to an interesting few days in Sikkim.
