The trip from Darjeeling to Sikkim was another experience I had never had before. We found the jeep where we had booked 6 seats, and got our luggage well placed on the roof of the car.
After waiting around for some time it was finally time for us to leave, there was not a lot of room in the jeep but we managed. On our way out of the city the driver stopped and talked with a guy after some time, some guy came with a big closet, the driver got out and helped the man put the closet on top of our bags on the roof of the car. This was a first to me, and of course we were all a bit surprised by the fact that we would be driving with a closet on the roof of the car.
The trip up through the mountains was nice, but after some time the sun went down and we could not see anything. We arrived at the border and had to go in and show our Sikkim permits and get our passport stamped. After this we continued to Gangtok that is the capital of Sikkim. We quickly found hotel where we got 2 rooms, 1 for the girls and 1 for the boys. The hotel was located just across from the mail street of the city, in many of the hills stations is called Mall Road, this will be the main street, and in a lot of the places also a street where cars cannot drive, so it is only for pedestrians. But Sikkim and Gangtok will have their own post later on.
