In Darjeeling
The fact that it's really out of the way makes Darjeeling a special little place. It took me an absolute age to get here - the guy I hired to drive me here from Varanasi, Suhinder, drove all night along really foggy roads (15m visibility in some places) that were not particularly sound and it ended up taking us about 15hrs on Saturday night.
