The classic eastern Himalaya duo — Sikkim’s lively Gangtok with Tsomgo Lake, and Darjeeling’s tea gardens, toy train and the Kanchenjunga sunrise from Tiger Hill.
This classic eastern-Himalaya journey pairs two beloved hill capitals — Gangtok, Sikkim’s cheerful capital with its monasteries and glacial Tsomgo Lake, and Darjeeling, the queen of the hills, with its tea gardens, UNESCO toy train and the famous Kanchenjunga sunrise from Tiger Hill.
Private and easy-paced, with permits handled and every scenic drive arranged, it is a wonderful first taste of the mountains for families and couples.
