The Sikkim-Darjeeling Tour is the absolute best mountain trip in Northeast India. Period. Starting from Howrah, this 8-day adventure takes you to three perfect hill towns: Gangtok, Pelling, and Darjeeling. These places are the only ones you need to see for the most amazing views of Mount Kanchenjunga, Buddhist monasteries, tea gardens, and the famous toy train ride.
Your trip starts in Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. This city is super clean and beautiful, sitting high up at 5,500 feet. You must visit the colorful Buddhist monasteries. You must walk on the famous MG Marg street. And you must take the exciting trips to Tsomgo Lake and Nathula Pass, right on the border with China. The views of the mountains covered in snow will blow your mind. That is a fact. You must also ride in the cable cars to see the whole city from high in the sky.
Next, you will go to Pelling. It is a quiet town with the absolute best views of the Kanchenjunga mountain. Here, you must visit the ancient monasteries. You must see the beautiful waterfalls. And you must explore the old ruins of the Rabdentse Palace. The Pemayangtse Monastery is one of the oldest and most important in all Sikkim.
The final stop is Darjeeling, the true Queen of Hills. This amazing town is the best for its tea gardens and toy train. You must wake up very early to see the magical sunrise from Tiger Hill. This is where the first sunbeams light up Mount Kanchenjunga. It is incredible. You must ride the UNESCO Heritage toy train. You must visit the tea farms to learn exactly how they make tea. And you must explore the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and the Zoo.
This complete tour package costs only ₹32,500 for each person if two people share a room.
