Pleasant hike
The trek was very nice. But due partly to exceptional circumstances the driving times were far too long.. And exceptional seems to be recurrent in this part of India. My suggestion for this trip would be to skip Sikkim and find alternatives closer to Darjeeling or the Singalila rirdge and elaborate another trip for Sikkim with hiking further there.
Darjeeling, Sikkim & Singalila
Great trip, very varied itinery visiting towns & some working monasteries, location of hotels is very good. Walking too is varied - lovely walks, through forests & bamboo plus up on the ridge for a couple of days. We were lucky & got sun & clear skies - views of everest and the whole range to kanchenjunga are fantastic. Trekking staff are brilliant.
Tough trek but views are amazing!
Great mix of cultural diversity and natural beauty of India - starting and ending in the manic centres of Delhi and Kolkata respectively, the majority of the trip is in quieter parts of West Bengal and Sikkim, which are simply beautiful.

Hiking in the Himilayas
Such a varied and personally challenging tour! At 73, I wondered how well I would deal with the serious elevation hike up to the Ridge. The guide, Rajeev, made hard choices when the weather was difficult. The 3 guides supported us every day so we all did our best. The view at sunrise of the mountain from the Ridge made the effort worth it. The other stops in Darjeeling and Sikkim and Kolcutta gave us a good idea of this part of the country. A well planned and varied experience.
