The public transport situation in West Sikkim (and the whole place in general) is very patchy, so I ended up hiking out towards my destination, as I couldn't find a taxi or bus that was going.
Which was actually very lucky, as I would have driven right past Darap. I only stopped, as I met a local guy walking in the same direction, and he recommended it (it was his home village). He took me to see his young wife and baby, before helping me find somewhere to stay for the night.
A nice little village- nothing particular scenic, but it was quiet, and the terrible weather meant I read a whole book in a day - Stephen Fry isn't bad at fiction! I also helped make dinner at the home stay, and read Spiderman comics with the 5 year old son. Nice place!
