trip Overview
Gangtok, Kalimpong, and Darjeeling Discovery offer interaction with amiable people, spellbinding tea plantations, and majestic Himalayan peaks. Also, the cool air, and captivating hilltops in northeast India. These cities hidden in the hills offer some an amazing wide view of sunrise and sunset touching the horizon.
The ‘Queen of Hills’, Darjeeling kicks off our adventure-packed tour. A city developed as a summer retreat from the time of the British colonial period in India. Darjeeling town and its surroundings perfectly invoke a hill Shangri-la image with their outstanding sceneries. The Kanchenjunga and the other Himalayas in the northwest adds the beauty.
The taste of orthodox Darjeeling tea will captivate your tongue. And also the sunrise view from Tiger Hill will set the benchmark for the beauteous natural scene. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is still on operation on steam power. It is also included in UNESCO Heritage List. It reminds you of the past of the town.
Kalimpong is another spectacular hill station in the lap of the Himalayas like Darjeeling. It has a notable Buddhist spiritual center. It offers awesome views of the Teesta River. Rivaling with both Darjeeling and Kalimpong in location and natural beauty is Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim.
You’ll not get enough of the hills and views from any portion of the journey. Together, a tour through these three cities refines the best that the eastern Himalayan states of India can offer. Join us for this fantastic Gangtok, Kalimpong, and Darjeeling Discovery trip to natural India with Outdoor Himalayan treks.
