Shillong

And we made it on time of course!

West Bengal, India

got up early this morning and went to Tiger hill in a small Tata with chauffeur -- realized how great new cars are!! Watched the sunset and the Himalayas above the cloud sea. Tried shopping but didn't find anything. Drove back down and staying in Shiliburi tonight. Two more driving days at least...

West Bengal, India

made it to Darjeeling, city above the clouds!!! Rewarding, especially after the mental steep road we had to drive up. My driver is crazy but very skillful!! Now chilling out in a tea bar and catching up with other teams.@

Bihar, India

in a hotel finally, road was sooo crappy most of the time, in need of rest now, bed should be better than rickshaw backseat with armies of starving mosquitoes and policemen checking on us...

Jharkhand, India

not the nicest night but survived it and crossed the Ganga this morning in spite of sleep deprivation. Will take it easy today

, Indian Sub-Continent

couldn't find hotel or camping spot to spend the night... Too many people, scary area...

Odisha, India

monsoon during the night, dogs made a mess of our seats and tore them apart...

Andhra Pradesh, India

left the main highway, which was beautiful this morning - fields and rivers. Heading to the mountains and straight into the monsoon, seeking for some adventure -- or trouble? Update: we camped at the top, no rain, region and road so beautiful, terrace fields, natural perfumes, fresh air, sunrise, view points...

Andhra Pradesh, India

finally found the perfect time to hit the road, morning drive was delightful, fresh air and beautiful sunrise. Highway is getting boring sometimes but we are making good progress so far.

Andhra Pradesh, India

3 days of good drive with no visible issue. Last night run out of petrol in front of Indian pastor's house, had dinner with his family and spent the night in his house.
