Siliguri

---

I left Nepal by local buses through to Darjeeling back in India. It was a long bus ride from Katmandu to the border, but there were no problems. It was hard to find the Nepalese border post - I walked past it a couple of times and saw a Canadian girl doing the same - walking back and forth along the road. Eventually we found it and checked out of Nepal before getting to the Indian border and waiting patiently for the official to write out our entry in triplicate into the various journals in the office. We met some nice monks from Bangladesh on Pilgramage and they were heading into Nepal - in their bright orange robes and shaved heads.
The Canadian and I caught a Jeep to Siliguri from the border and then another to Darjeeling.
