Darjeeling Tours and Trips

We went on the 4 day trek across Singalila, in a group of 6. The company arranged for an early morning pick-up from our hotel in Darjeeling to their office, where they stored our additional luggage before driving us to the start of the hike in their Tata Sumo. Starting with the guide: Pemba Sherpa, he assisted us with all government procedures and paperwork before we can enter the national park. And through the 4 days, he carried fruits and refreshments for us, surprising us with something new during every break. He took excellent photos of the group, ensured we made appropriate progress through the day while keeping safety as the number one priority. During Day 3, we lost a mobile phone and the guide went above and beyond walking extra miles to go back and check every part of the road while informing the right people to get it back. He was quite knowledgeable, knew the locals and kept us motivated to go. The trek: amazing visuals, challenging sections with climb and descend and you will get the true sense of Himalayas. During late April, the mountains are covered with flowers and temperatures are quite tolerable through the day. Mobile network however wasn't available starting Day 2 to Day 3. Home-stays: If you seek luxury, you won't be in this trek in the first place and the stays aren't anything like a 5-star hotel, but after walking for hours they are really comfy places to be at. Friendly staff/owners, good-warm food and clean facilities. Day 1 was at Gurdum Mingma Sherpa Homestay—all basic amenities, except warm water which a paid extra. Day 2 at Sandakphu, no running water or mobile network but the homestay provided us with wi-fi. Day 3 at Rammam, we were the first guest at the place and we had running hot water and mobile network. Food: It was mostly Tibetan, we took a number of breaks through our journey. Tea was the common feature in every break, the guide called ahead with our special needs in terms of avoiding spice in meals. The feature meals were veg momo, thukpa, samosa and rice and veggies grown locally. At the end of the trek, we were picked up by the same Tata Sumo and driven back to Darjeeling. Despite it being a Sunday, the company staff were there to receive us with the local scarves as gift. They dropped us to our new hotel before parting ways.

In April as a group of 5 foreigners we did 7 days Darjeeling and Sikkim tour using the vehicle provided by this tour company. Agreement for exact route was made very clear and well in advance. The company owner Subash with driver were waiting to pick up us at Bagdogra Airport. The vehicle was clean and ready to manage all the roads. Every morning, driver Santosh was ready to start on time. He was always understanding, humble and helpful. It was a pleasure our vehicle was provided by the company itself. We had a safe trip thanks to our driver Santosh. Definitely recommend this travel agency to everyone.

We used this travel operator for a trek on Singalila Ridge and a tour of Sikkim. Everything worked out perfectly and we loved our guide Dawa Lama. Subash recommended a trekking agency in Kathmandu and that was excellent as well. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience with this travel operator. Right from the planning to our trip everything was great. Our guide for the Sikkim trip Norbu was amazing and made sure we experienced the best of Sikkim from a local’s perspective. We thoroughly enjoyed his company 4 days in Sikkim, right from Gangtok to Yumthang and down to Temi. We also went on a short hike from Darjeeling to Tonglu with Rupesh as our trek guide. The stay at Tonglu was amazing, we enjoyed it more than all the luxury stays that were provided. Overall, we had an amazing time at Darjeeling and Sikkim. Would totally recommend this company for your trips and treks. Highly professional, easily reachable and very flexible.

I had a terrific weekend touring Darjeeling with Kiran Rai as guide and Dipu Lepcha as driver. We packed a lot of sights into a short period of time but they managed things smoothly so it never felt rushed. Kiran was extremely knowledgeable about everything and gave me a lot to learn and think about throughout the weekend, as we discussed the background of the Tibetan monastery, Buddhism, the tea industry, the politics of the hill country within the state of West Bengal, as well as history of the region from the British Raj to independence to the present day. Dipu did an amazing job driving amidst difficult traffic in Bagdogra and the mountain road to Darjeeling.

What an experience. This local travel specialist minded us and brought us on a trip we will never forget. We spent 6 days trekking the Sandakphu Singalila Ridge minded every step of the way by our professional local Guide Rupesh, horseman, and Owner Subash gave us a great welcome in Darjeeling before the trek start and the overall experience could not have been better. Amazing job !! We'll be back!!
