Eric and I are now on the 3rd round of changes to our travel itinerary for our upcoming trip to India. The 2nd plan consisted of flying into New Delhi then catching a flight to Kathmandu exploring our way through Nepal//making our way back to Delhi via trains/buses. Now that Nepal is closed/unsafe to travel in we need a new plan. I have been looking into visiting Darjeeling and Sikkim. Specifically flying into Bagdora take a bus or taxi to Siliguri then catch a "toy train" on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway to Darjeeling. Then, if we like, make our way to Sikkim or start heading west back to New Delhi; by train possibly. Sounds like the best plan would be to stay in Darjeeling and Sikkim for our entire trip... "The train ride back from DJ to Delhi does have some amazing places to see, but it'll be *scorching* hot. I remember how hard it was taking photos, as the sweat kept flooding the viewfinder and burning my eyes." Same person has this to say about trekking around Sikkim, "The scenery is unspeakably beautiful, flowers all around, 100s of different butterflies, its unreal." Take a look...
