Sikkim Trip

[Pankaj Kumar]

Respected Sirs and dear friends,
From tomorrow (16th) evening onwards I would be on trip to Delhi and
on 18th to Sikkim (Pakyong and Gangtok) and higher altitudes of West
Bengal (Kalimpong and Darjeeling) and hence, as usual, I wont be able
to contribute much on eflora.
From 18th - 21st I would be busy but afterwards (21st - 25th) I will
just be roaming around as much as I can. I would be back to Delhi on
25th evening and to Dehradun by 27th. This is going to be my first
trip to NE and I am really excited. I would really be interested in
meeting any members from Sikkim region during my trip. Anyone
interested may call me on +919412368451.
Thanks for all your support and encouragement.
Regards
Pankaj

Your tour program sounds really great! I am missing those trips nowadays.

My best wishes for a 'fruitful' (and flowerful!) trip. I had a chance to visit Manipur and i just loved it.

Hope you also will thoroughly enjoy your Darjeeling and Sikkim trip.

Look forward to see your raining pictures of NE plant wealth.

Are you going alone (to Darjeeling)?!

Yeah alone :(....  you are putting salt on my wounds !!

[Pankaj Kumar]

Extremely sorry, that was not meant for public view!!!:P

Thanks a lot Dr. Vijay, but hope you are aware of this Gorkhaland agitation going on in that part and the recent bands and killings.

Hopefully that doesnt hamper my trip. Hope they dont shoot me :P

Yes, I will have 4 days for flower shooting, but its too cold for most of the plants to flower, but hopefully I will find some.

Thanks.

Regards

Pankaj

Wishing you a safe journey, Dr.Pankaj. Try to have (or hire) a local person to accompany you all the time when you are in NE. It really helps a lot and saves lot of time to deal with guards.

Keep sufficient id proof and sanction letter etc. from your department and the local forest dept. We had to show these several times in a day in Manipur. I don't know about the situation here.

The safest thing to do in NE is: go with a local guide. I guess you know many botanists from the region. So you shouldn't have any problem.

 

Good luck

Dear Hari,
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Cherrapunji is in Meghalaya I assume,
and I am not going that far.
But if I get a company and have time then surely I would lvoe to go there.
But first thing is to reach Sikkim safely :).
Regards

Greetings from the capital of Sikkim. Its cold and on our Tavera drive
from Bagdogra with Dr. Sathish Kumar and few more experts, saw a lot
of Orchids. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to stop the vehicle to
take pictures are there was a band today by the gorkhaland demanding
groups. Conference starts from tomorrow.
But till now, I am safe and sound.
MY NET IS TOO SLOW AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN MANY OF THE MAILS.
Regards
Pankaj
