I thoroughly enjoyed reading this beautiful travelogue of yours. Hats off to all of you and your little champ steed! Indeed, what matters most is the mind behind the wheel rather than the machine itself! Keep driving and keep posting for us, the readers!

Thanks,

Going through the pictures here feels like taking a trip to the Sikkim Himalayas once more.
Loved the location of the eco resort by the river.

I was in Rishikhola this weekend, wish I had read your tl before going, I would have taken the rongpo route to Rishikhola instead of Kalimpong. Its not that I dont like bad roads, I was driving an Innova Crysta and roads like this and Rishikhola is a piece of cake, but my co travelers didnt enjoy it

Re: Alto K10 goes to Kanchenjunga - Kolkata to East Sikkim

Thoroughly enjoyed your travelogue and the snaps. Trick of conquering the gradient in reverse gear is something I have never tried, but sounds very logical.

I was lucky to visit this part of the country, but missed the fun of driving through the beautiful and winding terrain.

Wish you and your K10 scale new heights
