01About Sikkim & Darjeeling

The Eastern Himalaya reward slow travel: monasteries above the clouds, mountain roads to high-altitude lakes and mornings watching Kanchenjunga turn gold.

Our Sikkim and Darjeeling itineraries balance road time carefully, with permits for protected areas arranged as part of planning.
