Gantok, Sikkhim, India




We took a trip as a family to Gantok, Sikkhim, India. That is in the northeast corner of India between Nepal and Bhutan. Boy was it an exciting adventure. First we took a 45 minute plane ride to Bhadrapur, which is on the border of Nepal and India. Then we took a 30 minute taxi ride to the border. At the border, first you go into Nepal's immigration (picture that says Immigration). The next picture is Bo communicating at the border how much a taxi ride was going to cost all the way to Gantok. We are so thankful our friend Lhakpa, (the man in the blue shirt in the picture of Bo with a bunch of guys. This picture is the actual border.) came along with us because he speaks their language! Then on the India side, we have to go to India's immigration office, which at first looks like a building (picture of Bo walking holding Izzy), but once you get there, the actual office is next to it in a HUT!
