At last, 5 days after we left Bangalore, we reached Gangtok.
To get here, we took a shared cab from Siliguri to Darjeeling and another from there to Gangtok. In Darjeeling, we were supposed to take a toy train ride in the steam engine version of the Himalayan Railway (there is also a diesel version). After waiting for more than 2 hours in the railway station and watching Durga make friends with every stray dog in sight, we were told that the train was cancelled. So instead of waiting for another one, we decided to ditch the whole thing and leave for Gangtok.
