Why visit

Why Sikkim & Darjeeling?

A high-Himalayan state paired with India's most famous tea district. The draw is the third-highest mountain on earth from a hotel balcony on a clear morning, a monastery circuit that is very much alive, and the toy train and Tiger Hill sunrise in Darjeeling.

Kanchenjunga mornings

The world's third-highest peak, from your balcony before breakfast.

Living monasteries

Rumtek and Pemayangtse, with the morning prayers still on.

The Nathula road

Tsomgo Lake and the high pass, permits arranged for you.

Tea at the source

A working Darjeeling garden, tasted where it is grown.
