We flew into Pakyang Airport in a
Bombardier 400. The last few kms it looked like we were flying into
a mountainside. Then the runway appeared cut right into the
mountain, It seemed like a very short runway. Then we took a taxi
to Pelling. The distance wasn't great – about 120km. But it took
5 hours of tough driving. The first 5 km from the airport were nice
paved highway. Then we hit the potholed and missing pavement
sections. I felt better because I didn't think it was fair for Sikkim
to have better roads than Quebec. None of the roads were wide so
passing in any directions was slow. We arrived at our hotel and when
we looked out from our balcony the view was fantastic. We're in
Sikkim..
