Jump on the wagon with us as we embark on a 12-day journey of India's northern and northeastern regions. This 12-day tour will bring you close to one of the stunning yet less visited regions of the country. Starting from Kolkata, this tour will take you through the picturesque hills of Kalimpong, Gangtok and Darjeeling. Leave the hills behind and return to the plains, this time to the holy city of Varanasi. Visit Sarnath, where the Buddha gave his first sermon, before traveling to Lucknow. Your journey comes to an end in Delhi, where you will go out on a sightseeing tour before heading for the airport. India's northeast is a land of undulating hills with a luxuriant green cover, wide meandering rivers and small, gurgling streams. Not so much established on the travelers map, this region has its own unique charm that will sweep you off your feet. Please note that entrance fees to the monuments are not included in the tour price. For more details, please go through the itinerary below.

The tour was perfectly organised, in a fairly short time you can see a very large number of sights. It was a surprise to me that this was actually an individual tour. For that price, this format is miracle, at the same time, all the guides are russian speaking, which was also pleasent.
