Bagdogra to Darjeeling

We left for Bagdogra, about 500km north of Kolkata by plane at 3:00pm and arrived 1 hour and 20 minutes later.

From the airport, we headed for Darjeeling, about 100km north of Bagdogra, arriving about 3-1/2 hours later. The roads are steep and winding, and full of potholes.

It was a respite to be away from the scorching heat of Kolkata!
