Flying from Seattle to Calcutta is AT BEST looking like a $1400+, 26-hour odyssey from hell.
And that
still involves 2 or 3 plane changes -- the freakin' budget flight(s) is 33+ hours long and about $200 less or so. Where is the smiley sticking a fork in his eye? Cause that's going to be me, my friends.
And this is all just to get to Calcutta... my "final" destination will be a life-risking 200-mile bus ride through some of the least-traveled parts of India. I say life-risking because Indian buses are notorious harbingers of death and dismemberment.
On the other hand, Bhutan and Sikkim will be worth it!
If anyone has any further information about routes that may be somewhat easier, feel free to add them here...
