Visiting Jorepokhri (North Bengal, India) October 2007

WHERE TO STAY:
Jorepokhri Tourist Lodge (DGHC), Ph: 0354 2264700

HOW TO REACH:
By Train to NJP or Air to Bagdogra then by road to Jorepokhri.
Located around 21.5kms from Darjeeling, 13.5kms from Ghoom, 92kms from NJP, 95kms from Bagdogra, 23kms from Mirik, 125kms from Gangtok, 55kms from Kalimpong.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
[1] Travel on the NJP-Mirik-Jorepokhri route as roads are better, avoid the NJP-Kurseong-Ghoom route. NH55 condition is very bad (as on october 2007). It takes around 3.5 hours from NJP to Jorepokhri via Mirik on a car.
[2] As DGHC Tourist lodge is the only place to stay (presently 4 rooms, another 21 rooms under construction), book in advance.
[3] Never forget to carry your camera.
