Gobinda Dradhan's taxi

Posted by marknew 4 April 2008

Kalimpong is about two-three hours by shared jeep from Darjeeling. Worth a trip (even if only for the views on route).

If you go to KP's Motor Stand & in Himalaya Travels ask for Gobinda Dradhan, he will take you on a (set fare) tour of the local sights - magnificent viewpoints and Dr Graham's home.

Best of all, Gobinda takes his time, does not hussle you into visiting shops and is very knowledgeable about the area.
