This trip has been designed to showcase the highlights of northeast India, specifically 2 enchanting destinations nestled in the eastern Himalayas, Sikkim and Darjeeling. From glistening tea fields and Buddhist monasteries to megacities and the high Himalayas, this itinerary has excitement with every turn.
Begin your northeast India adventure in the city of Kolkata. This former British capital has some superb examples of old British architecture but also dances very much to its own wonderful West Bengali beat. Dive into the busy streets with your guide and discover gems such as the Victoria Memorial and St Johns Church. Next, fly up to Bagdogra and continue by road to the tea hills just outside of Darjeeling. Stay at the magnificent Glenburn Tea Estate and enjoy superb views and fantastic service. Explore Darjeeling, explore Ghoom Monastery, travel on the toy train, and watch the sun rise over the high Himalayas. Follow this with visits to Gangtok and Kalimpong – both known for their beautiful Buddhist monasteries. Finish back in Kolkata with plenty of amazing experiences under your belts.
