Very enjoyable and overall a safe trip
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.
Experienced the best of Sikkim from a local’s perspective
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.
Terrific weekend touring Darjeeling
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.
