Introducing Kakarbhitta
Kakarbhitta (Kakarvitta) is the easternmost crossing between India and Nepal and it's just a few hours drive from Siliguri and Darjeeling in West Bengal and Gangtok in Sikkim. This is one of the easiest border crossings and the bazaar by the bus stand is packed with vendors selling Indian spices, Nepali khukuris (Gurkha knives), Chinese radios and other black market goods. The surrounding countryside is full of tea plantations, a taste of things to come on the Darjeeling side of the border, but there's isn't any great reason to linger here.
