Its always better to be friendly with locals........ you dnt have to dig a mountain to da that........ just few words with them will do.........
its on my trip to Kalimpong....... just chatting with a guy at tea shop....... he lead all the way to Kalimpong which helped a lot and saved us around 30min of journey......... it was easy especially around the spiral turning.........

@Hippie---- it was awesome reading your post....... its too good....... thanx for all the info.......
