We were a little sad to set off on the last day of riding today, although our weary legs were looking forward to finishing the tour.
The ride started with a very pretty mountain views as we descended the sweeping turns down the mountain. It was a very casual 20km descent that took us back down to about 300m. We ended up back at Naya Bazar for lunch, and then drove back across the Sikkim border. Our original route had to be changed as the road was too narrow and steep for our support vehicles. Nathan and Ken were a little disappointed on missing the most brutal climb of the tour, although a few other riders probably breathed a sigh of relief.
Instead, we rode up a gentle but very scenic climb to finish the ride at Darjeeling. We celebrated as each rider crossed our �finish line� of the tour.
We had beautiful meal to finish the tour.
