Waking up in Shrikhola, we heard the sound of the river running outside of the hotel window, but for once there was no rain in site and all we saw was sunshine and the beautiful flowers that were planted in every one of the tiny villages along our route.
It was about seven kilometers of trekking out to Rimbik, our last mo-mos of the journey, and the jeep that would take us the eighty kilometers and four bumpy hours back to Darjeeling. That day, it didn't even rain until our final passport check of the trip.

| sights in Rimbik: things you may need at the end of the Sandakphu trek We also found out that the jeeps that do the driving between Rimbik and Darjeeling need their shocks replaced every three months or so. |

Request: Ask your mom for more details about this meeting with daddy over the Nepali flag. (then blog about it -- it'll be good for your reporting & storytelling skills) I haven't heard the story yet, although probably everyone else has.
ReplyDeleteYour trip looked so fun, Bowman! I hope you do get to go back for Christmas.
