North East when combined with Darjeeling can be assumed to deliver an outstanding travel experience. Our Darjeeling-Kalimpong-Gangtok Tour is specially formulated for those who seek nature, adventure and history all in one tour in India. This 5N/6D tour allows you to open the treasure trove of North East and get a good look at the finest gems like Kalimpong and Gangtok tucked neatly in the lap of the beautiful state of Sikkim.
Beginning at West Bengal’s favorite hill station, Darjeeling, the tour starts to get exciting as soon as this hill station begins unfolding one attraction at a time. Flagging off the journey with witnessing one of the most beautiful sunrises at Tiger Hill, the tour beckons more incredible things to experience in the coming days. At Darjeeling, we shall include attractions like the Tea Gardens, which certainly are the identifier of this hill town; Batasia Loop; Ghoom Monastery; Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, PNZ Zoological Park; Tenzing Rock and Tibetan Refuge Centre. You shall also get the chance to enjoy the scrumptuous delicacies that are a blend of East and North East food.
Mesmerized enough by Darjeeling, you will head out to where Kalimpong waits for you to cast another magic spell. Kalimpong has everything that can define beauty and adventure and thus your chances of falling in love with it are way more than you think. The tour here will include a visit to Durpin Hill, famous Zong Dog Palri Fo- Brang Monastery belonging to the same Buddhist sect that of Dalai Lama; Jelapla View Point, Pine View Point, Kalim Temple, Dr Graham’s Homes Complex,Delo Hill, which is the highest point in Kalimpong, Mangal Dham Temple and Kalimpong Arts & Crafts Centre. This tour in Kalimpong will be an endeavour to cover all the major aspects that define the hill station in the best way.
Take a deep breath of clean air and marvel at the natural beauty that you would encounter when reaching from Kalimpong to Gangtok. The state capital has so much to offer that by the end of the tour you would be so attached to the destination. Boasting thick forests, torrent rivers and peaceful lakes and monasteries, Gangtok is an ideal way to conclude the already perfect tour. Our endeavour would be to include all the attractions of Gangtok that reflect the city. We will also ensure that the neighbouring locales like Tsongmo Lake and Nathu Pass are also in the itinerary as they make important parts of attractions in Gangtok. Where the lake is home to Brahminy Ducks and shelter to migratory birds, the Pass is the border between India and China. Visitors will also get the chance to seek the blessings at Baba Mandir before completion of a memorable tour.
