More Places to Visit

These places are not part of the standard itinerary. If you have free time, ask us and we will try to fit them in. Most Darjeeling Gangtok Tour Packages leave these stops out.

Tiger Hill: The most famous sunrise point in Darjeeling. Go early, wear layers, and hope for a clear sky.
Batasia Loop and Ghoom Monastery: A small railway loop with a war memorial and garden, and a calm Buddhist monastery close by. Both are on the Tiger Hill return route, so nothing is wasted.
Happy Valley Tea Estate: One of the oldest tea gardens in Darjeeling. Visit during working hours to see how the leaf is processed, and buy a pack of first-flush or second-flush tea to take home.
Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park: Home to red pandas and snow leopards. A good stop if you have kids or extra time.
Peace Pagoda and Japanese Temple: A quiet, peaceful spot away from the crowds, good for a slow evening.
MG Marg, Gangtok: Walk, shop, sit in a café, repeat. There are no vehicles here, so it is relaxed even with children.
Tsomgo Lake: A high-altitude lake surrounded by snow-capped hills for much of the year.

Best Time to Visit

March to May: Pleasant weather and blooming rhododendrons
October to early December: Crisp air and the best chance of clear Kanchenjunga views
June to September: Monsoon season, with rain and a risk of landslides
December to February: Very cold, and Tsomgo Lake may be frozen or snow-covered

If you want clear mountain views, choose October to early December. If you want flowers and mild weather, choose March to May.

Prices can change by season, so check the Darjeeling tour package price before you book.

Travel Tips

Pack warm layers even in summer, plus a light raincoat and comfortable walking shoes.
Carry an original government photo ID for every traveller. Indian nationals need it for the Tsomgo permit. Foreign nationals need extra permits, so please tell us when you book.
Carry some cash, as ATMs and card machines can be unreliable in the hills.
Keep your phone and power bank charged, as signal and power can be weak in some hills.
Do not book a flight or train close to your arrival or departure time. Mountain roads can be slow.
If you get motion sickness, take your medicine before the Darjeeling to Gangtok drive.
Follow these tips and your trip to Darjeeling and Gangtok will be smooth and safe.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

5 Days Planned

D1

Day 1: Bagdogra / NJP to Darjeeling

Meals: Dinner Stay: Darjeeling

Our driver meets you at Bagdogra Airport or NJP railway station. The drive to Darjeeling is about 90 km and takes 3.5 to 4 hours. The road goes through pine forests and tea gardens, and the air gets cooler with every turn.

Check in and rest. In the evening, walk around Mall Road and enjoy a hot cup of Darjeeling tea. Sleep early, because tomorrow starts before sunrise.

D2

Day 2: Tiger Hill Sunrise and Darjeeling Sightseeing

Meals: Breakfast and dinner Stay: Darjeeling

Be ready by 3:30 to 4:00 AM. Tiger Hill is about 11 km from town. On a clear day, Kanchenjunga turns gold in the first light. It is cold up there, so carry a jacket. This early start is the highlight of the Darjeeling Gangtok tour.

On the way back, stop at Ghoom Monastery and Batasia Loop. Then return to your hotel for breakfast. After breakfast, visit the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and Happy Valley Tea Estate. Spend the evening at leisure.

D3

Day 3: Darjeeling to Gangtok

Meals: Breakfast and dinner Stay: Gangtok

After breakfast, check out and drive to Gangtok. The distance is about 100 km and the drive takes 4.5 to 5 hours. For a good part of the way, the road runs beside the blue-green Teesta River.

Check in and rest. In the evening, go to MG Marg. It is a clean, car-free street with cafés, shops and food stalls. Try momos, thukpa or Sikkimese tea. MG Marg is a good place to compare the mood of Darjeeling and Gangtok.

D4

Day 4: Tsomgo Lake and Baba Harbhajan Singh Memorial

Meals: Breakfast and dinner Stay: Gangtok

Leave after an early breakfast for Tsomgo Lake. It is about 38 km from Gangtok, at around 12,400 ft, and the drive takes 2 to 3 hours. The lake looks different in every season: frozen in winter, blue-green in spring and summer.

From there, the road continues to Baba Mandir, a memorial to soldier Baba Harbhajan Singh. Carry warm clothes, as it can be very cold even on a sunny day. At this height, some people feel breathless, so walk slowly and drink water.

This trip needs a permit, and we arrange it for you. Ask us about permits when you book our Darjeeling Gangtok Tour Packages. Please keep your original government photo ID ready. We check road and weather conditions on the day, and we will tell you if the plan needs to change.

D5

Day 5: Gangtok to Bagdogra / NJP

Meals: Breakfast Stay: Checkout

Have breakfast and check out. The drive to Bagdogra or NJP is about 125 km and takes 4.5 to 5 hours. Tell us your flight or train time, and we will plan the pickup. We suggest leaving at least 6 hours before a flight and 5 hours before a train, as mountain roads can be slow. We hope you leave with happy memories and a full camera roll.
