A quick update on the strike in Darjeeling and its effect on tourists: Strike organizers in the hills called for a 2-day break to allow tourists to get out of the region safely. However, a strike then broke out in the foothills, causing havoc in the region. Worse, a group of 8 tourists from Kolkata were attacked by Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) men, causing tour operators to cancel tours to the region. If you have travel planned to the region, it would be best to postpone or change your plans at this time.
