North East India tours

Separated from Nepal and Bhutan by snow-capped peaks, Darjeeling lies in the North East foothills of the Himalayas. This North East India tour will take you to the famous cool hill station, surrounded by emerald tea plantations, and home to a fascinating mix of Indian, Nepalese, and Bhutanese people. During the trip, you can wander through plush forests, enjoying the fresh mountain air and exploring bright Buddhist monasteries. At the end, you can toast the trip with a steaming mug of Darjeeling – the champagne of tea. This is an excellent spot to begin a North East India tour into the Himalayas, as well the gateway to the undiscovered state of Sikkim and neighbouring Bhutan.

This North East India tour will give you a true glimpse into Tibetan culture and lifestyle. Sikkim lies at a lower altitude than Ladakh in the west, which means that it is greener and easier to reach, and it is full of undiscovered treasures for adventurous travellers. These spectacular foothills have become home to many exiled Tibetan monks who kneel in richly decorated monasteries, chanting gentle mantras and spinning colourful prayer wheels. During this North East India tour, you’ll also visit the tranquil towns of Gangtok and Kalimpong, as yet untouched by mass tourism and bursting with Tibetan charm.
