Top Highlights

  • KurseongThe Darjeeling Himalayan Railway runs beside the road for most of the climb and crosses it about a hundred times.
  • Tiger HillOn a clear morning Everest is visible from Tiger Hill, 170 km away, as a small triangle to the left of the Kanchenjunga massif.
  • Durpin MonasteryKalimpong is lower, warmer and known for its orchid nurseries, and the Teesta valley road between the two is the best part of the drive.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Solid operator.

Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Would book with them again.

Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. No hesitation recommending them.

West Bengal done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Worth every rupee.
