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.

The Gangtok City Walk

Fantastic

Beautiful place to stroll, shop. Good cafes. Nice to stroll through, most of big brands have outlets. Beautiful view
