From Varansi via Gorakhpur and Sonauli to Nepal - Gorakhpur

My plan was going on from Varansi to Nepal. I wanted to save some time and I read that there is a dirct fight connection for some 74 USD and that you even get some 20% off if you are younger than 30.....that was the theory.

In REALITY I found out, that flights are restricted to main season, which was still some weeks ahead, plus prices have changed to 165 USD. Well, the time was what I could not waste, so I had to think about the other way:

I took the train to Gorakhpur over night (sleeper was 87 Rs), jumped on a bus to the bordertown, walked over the border, jumped in a shared taxi and went all the way to Kathmandu in a complete 23h ride....

Of course there were the typical transportation experiences like my seat broke down, everything was was over-crowded, the shared taxi ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere and so on.......but hell yeah, I made it!
