gangtok to bagdogra for 10am flight to kolkata

Hi all,

We will be in sikkim in the middle of january. Our flight back to Kolkata from Bagdogra is at 10am. Is it possible for us to find taxis from Gangtok who will be willing to start the journey at 3-4am for Bagdogra? We would prefer this, since we arrive in Gangtok from our North Sikkim trip the day before the flight back to Kolkata and would like to rest in Gangtok and do some shopping. We prefer NOT to go to Bagdogra/Siliguri for a night before the flight back to Kolkata, but if we have to do it then we will. Please help and thanks in advance.

the schedule looks like this:

jan. 15th - arrive in Gangtok in the afternoon from North Sikkim trip
jan. 16th - flight from bagdogra to kolkata at 10am

akh.

I would strongly advice against starting at 3 AM from Gangtok..you are talking winter season and fog would be very dense..

It would be quite OR very unsafe at that hour...your best bet would be to start on the 15th June itself..

I've made that journey in full daylight during decent weather-- no way-- I wouldn't do it at 3 or 4:00am.

Question Our flight leaves Bagdogra at 11.45am... i.e. 10.45am check-in

Seems there's only a single flight to Delhi, so am not able to reschedule for later. When should I plan on leaving Pelling to make this flight? Is it possible to do that the same morning?

I'm talking May 23.
