Sikkim & Darjeeling
 Kalimpong - Gangtok - Darjeeling - 6 Nights / 7 Days Package

 

Sikkim, tucked away in India`s Northest corner, betwen Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal is, without question a very special part of India, beautiful, unspoilt, green, full of orchids, mountain, butterflies and monasteries, and home to some of the gentlest people you could wish to meet.

Gangtok means, aptly enough,"hill top" and the little capital of Sikkim is perched at 5500 feet high on the ridges of a valley. From Gangtok, you lookover the hillside, down and across to terraced fields, with tall, white Buddhist prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and endless stunning backdrop of towering snow capped peaks.

Kalimpong, Nestled in the lush mid ranges of the Himalayas, this hill station of "the Raj", has an incredible stunning backdrop of towering snow capped peaks.

Darjeeling ! Mark Twain seems to have visied this Himalayan city and penned down his impression about Darjeeling as the "land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would nit give that away for the shows of the rest of the world combined." Such is the beautiful land of Darjeeling.
