How this version is planned

  • Fewer hotel changes and later starts, so mornings are yours
  • A room upgrade request and a cake or flower decoration on one night, on request and subject to the hotel
  • Evenings kept free for sunsets and dinners rather than packed with sightseeing
  • Private transfers throughout instead of shared coaches
  • A relaxed pace with two-night stays where possible

This is a suggested itinerary. Sightseeing order may change with opening days, weather and local conditions; your final plan is in your written quote.

Good to know

  • Gangtok: Carry ID photos and copies; permits for Tsomgo and Nathula are issued a day ahead.
  • Pelling: Get a room facing the mountain; the sunrise view is the reason to stay.
  • Darjeeling: Leave for Tiger Hill around 4 am; clear mornings are most likely in October–November.
