October · a weekend-to-weekend staycation

East Sikkim, a working staycation from Gangtok

One base. Work the weekdays, roam the weekends. Overnight train up to NJP, shared cab to Gangtok, and stay put — fiber + coworking to work from, easy evening walks and short rides near town, and comfortable full-day trips on the two weekends. Press Start to trace it in 3D.

3D terrain: MapLibre GL + free satellite & DEM tiles (needs internet). Use Google / Mapbox instead?
The map provider is isolated in one MAP_CONFIG block near the top of the script. To use Mapbox satellite + terrain, set provider:'mapbox' and paste your mapboxToken. To use Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, set provider:'google', paste your googleApiKey, and enable the commented deck.gl Tile3DLayer stub (Google's photorealistic tiles need a deck.gl/three.js overlay, not just a style swap). The default MapLibre view needs no key.

The marker traces the exact route in 3D, pausing at every stop long enough to read the card — including how well you can work there — then loops back to Kolkata.
