Gangtok Tickets and Tours

Eastern Himalaya (Darjeeling, Pelling, Gangtok & Kalimpong)

Amazing Sikkim, Pelling & Darjelling

Travellers who have motion sickness and don't like long journeys by car are strictly advised Not To travel. You should set aside 10 days to visit East Sikkim (Gangtok), North Sikkim, Pelling and Darjeeling. It takes minimum 6 to 7 hours to move from Bagdogra Airport to Gangtok, 7 hours from Gangtok to Pelling and 4 hours from Pelling to Dargeling. 3 hours from Darjeeling to Bagdogra Airport. Roads are very small and conditions are very bad till Sikkim starts. For North Sikkim, 2 nights 3 days is minimum duration set by government. Nathu pass is only closed on Mondays. Avoid sightseeing on Thursday in Dargeling as Dargeling Zoo and 2 points within Zoo are closed. Don't Travel in rainy season from June to first week of October if you want to see Kanchenjunga view and avoid any inconvenience. 1 days sight seeing in Pelling, Darjeeling and 2 days in Gangtok is sufficient. People in all 3 places are helpful and nice. Book hotels which are nearby MG Road in Gangtok and Mall Road in Dargeling and nearby taxi stand in Pelling. Hotel Summit Residency is good in all 3 places. Only difference is it is little far in Pelling (9 km from taxi stand) and Darjeeling (2 km from Mall road) Darjeeling train tickets are costly but if you still want to Travel, suggest taking Rs 1000 train ticket of Disel as you can see Steam Engine train a 5 minutes ahead than Disel train and both of them stand at Ghoom station. Hence no point in booking Rs 1500 ticket Above are my personal and practical experience. Rest of details articles are also available on net.

Darjeeling Sikkim Eco Village & Monastery Tour

It was excellent experience

Banari Regency by Summit truly impressed me with its immaculate property and warm hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I noticed the meticulous attention to detail and care that goes into maintaining the hotel. The clean and well-manicured surroundings, beautifully maintained gardens, and open spaces created a welcoming atmosphere. The staff's friendly demeanor further enhanced my experience, making my stay both comfortable and enjoyable."

7-Day Private Tour of Gangtok and Darjeeling from Siliguri

Darjeeling and Sikkim Tour

My wife and I went on a 8 day/7 night tour of Darjeeling and Sikkim private tour. It was organized by We Care Holidays. Our contact was Ms. Antra Rai. She did a very good job in booking the hotels, taxis, permits and a guide. It was a very enjoyable tour. Roads are in a very bad shape in North Sikkim due to frequent mud slides, but the drivers are very good in navigating on those roads. If you just concentrate on the sceanary, you can enjoy Sikkim thoroughly. I hope Sikkim government gives the same privilege to OCIs as they give it to Indian citizens. Then we could have gone to ground zero and Nathula pass.
