SPECTACULAR MOUNTAINS, TROPICAL VALLEYS, ABUNDANT FLORA & FAUNA
DISCOVER THE FASCINATING HILL STATIONS OF DARJEELING & KALIMPONG WITH THEIR CHARMING CHARACTER HOTELS
Our journey starts with a flight to Bagdogra in far eastern India followed by an enthralling drive to the famous British Raj hill station at Darjeeling. Sightseeing here will include views of Kangchenjunga at sunrise from Tiger Hill, Ghoom Monastery, the narrow gauge mountain railway and a visit to the interesting Himalayan Mountaineering Institute. The famous Singalila ridge is the main spur running south from the huge Kangchenjunga massif, forming a natural border between India and Nepal. Our six day trek will provide tremendous views of many well-known peaks including five of the World's highest mountains, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Chamlang and Kangchenjunga. The changing colour on these great peaks at sunrise and sunset is particularly spectacular. The second part of this tour visits the quiet hill resort of Kalimpong, visiting Buddhist monasteries, tea gardens and orchid nurseries before returning to Delhi.
This is a superb tour, offering a varied itinerary with beautiful scenery, enchanting Old World hotels, and a gentle introduction to the charms of the Eastern Himalaya.
