Sometimes I think these guys (they work in the same company incidentally) have employed body doubles who attend office for them while they are off-roading and on-roading their way to glory. |

I just have a few questions, firstly how much was the accommodation and how was it? decent? Do you need advance booking or are there enough places to stay there? I am thinking of going there with family so is the accommodation acceptable for women and children? |

I have seen and heard of an SEZ in Siliguri I think. I strongly suggest you guys lobby hard in your organization to open an office there exclusively for you lol:. That way you can have the pork platter for breakfast at Keventers everyday :uncontrol. Added bonus is you don't have to suffer NH34 at all. |

Came back last night from Charkhole via the Moregram-Siuri-Bolpur-Bardhaman route. It is in far better shape than the Krishnanagar route though about 80 Kms longer. |

Fabulous, thanks for pointing me to this. Will seek more details offline. Probably will need to show the Sherpa, the creature comforts of Power windows, Power steering, steering mounted audio controls etc! (Just kidding) But since, when I make this trip, as usual I will carry my parents along, will need to be doubly sure about accommodation and any hazards (non road related). |

He also said that the main road is not in very good shape but there is another good road which will lead me to Bhagalpur Bypass Road, inside Dumka town. And so far my knowledge goes, rest of the road is in good condition, with repairs done recently. |

On your travels, do you carry your computer with you? Does your car have a cigarette lighter/ power socket? |

Is this not SH23 which is marked in Google Maps? I am very interested in your trip now as I have always felt thwarted by having to make a North Bengal trip through NH34. Will wait for your travelogue and keeping fingers crossed that you do get your leave approved :D |

I am just inquisitive about this road and you may say that possibly I am too much eager to have a first hand look myself. But please remember that taking this route would make a considerable amount of detour. |
