• Get inAs for all destinations in Sikkim, the major mode of transport is "jeep", which refers to the ubiquitous 4x4 vehicles that plow around the hairpin bends.
• Get inLocals catch the "share jeep", packing in 10 passengers, which is not recommended for those who highly value their personal space (however these are very cheap).
• Get inConsiderably more expensive is the "private jeep", but if travelling in a group this is often quite economical.
• Get inFrom some destinations, if a direct jeep does not run, you may have to go via Geyzing, the major transport centre in West Sikkim (Geyzing is a short jeep ride down the hill from Pelling).
• Get aroundJeeps can be hailed along main roads throughout the region, but if all 10 seats are full (which is common), you may have to ride on the back.
• Go nextJeeps trips to Gangtok or Darjeeling in West Bengal are easily organised at the jeep stand, or pre-booked at several travel agents.
