Siliguri
Siliguri
 

Namaste,

jetzt bin ich wieder in der indischen Ebene, in Siliguri, allerdings erneut nur auf der Durchreise. Mein letzter Jeep, der von Kalimpong wieder hinunter zur Monkey Strasse am Fluss (Teesla Fluss, ein ziemlich wasserreicher Fluss), wo auch hier mehr als 100 Affen die Autos beobachteten.

Den Himalaya habe ich jetzt erst einmal hinter mir gelassen, jetzt gibt es wieder Fahrradrikschas und Kuehe .

Siliguri ist eine recht unattraktive Stadt, man steigt hier nur um, um in die Berge, nach Nepal, Bhutan oder Bangla Desh oder eben nach Kolkata zu kommen. Die Stadt liegt keine 15km von den Bergen entfernt, aber sehen tut man nichts, so diesig ist es hier. Keine Ahnung ob es auch einmal klare Tage gibt (wenn dann allenfalls direkt nach der Monsoonzeit).

Endlich gibt es mal wieder Transport der km zuruecklegt, mein Nachtbus nach Kolkata braucht nur 12h fuer 600km. Soviele km habe ich in der ganzen letzten Woche nicht zurueckgelegt...

Gruss
Ralf

P.S.
Heute hatte ich mein erstes Cheese Naan, mit Kaese gefuelltes indisches Naan-Brot, irresisteble. Kaese ist eine relativ junge Ergaenzung der indischen (oder auch bhutanesischen Kueche), aber die Einheimischen essen es gerne.
