Group tour with Kabir Pradhan & Saurabh Bhandekar
15 to 29 November 2024
Sikkim and the Darjeeling hills are lands of soaring Himalayan peaks and stunning views, quaint farming villages and lively market towns. Traditional lifestyles and livelihoods are widespread. Unusually for India, population density is low and protected forest coverage is high. This makes it something of an outlier in a country which is seeing rapid population growth and urban development.
Accompanied by Saurabh Bhandekar and guided by North East India native Kabir Pradhan, we explore this unique region on foot, with day walks through a variety of landscapes including forests, pastoral land and farming hamlets. Each night we return to comfortable accommodation, ranging from heritage hotels to farmstays and tea planters’ bungalows. Along the way we learn about the numerous ethnic groups who call this region of India home, including Tibetans, Nepalis, Bengalis, Lepchas and Bhotias.
We travel in November, when flowers are in full bloom, the air is clearest and mountain views at their best. With favourable conditions we are afforded regular views of the main Himalayan range, including of Khangchendzonga, the third highest mountain in the world (as below, seen from Darjeeling). As is always the case with our hosted tours, there is good food, unique accommodation and the company of like-minded travellers. The tour runs for 14 days and is limited to 12 people.
The Sikkim and Darjeeling Tour Offers a Great Introduction to the Himalayas and the Everyday Lives of People from the Towns and Villages Nestled at their Foothills. Experience the Cultures and Traditions of West Bengal and Sikkim on this Lively and Unforgettable Group Tour.
Forget solo travel and explore Sikkim and Darjeeling trip with a group of interesting and like-minded individuals while enjoying local delicacies at the choicest accommodations.

You guys are the best. Patient, kind and knowledgeable. Loved your insight on things and so openly answering all our (sometimes a bit invasive) questions. Loved meeting your families too. You all made the trip so much fun.

I think you are a great trio and work well together. My heartfelt thanks for accommodating me not being a walker. I didn’t expect to be looked after and catered for like I was. I really appreciate the extra effort you took to make it a great holiday for me.
