Darjeeling Tea Country & Kanchenjunga ViewsA Darjeeling-based trip covering the region's colonial-era tea estates, the UNESCO-listed toy train, and sunrise views of Kanchenjunga from Tiger Hill.
Darjeeling's combination of tea culture, a genuinely unique heritage railway and some of the most accessible high-Himalaya views in India makes it a natural single-base destination in its own right.
Drive or take the scenic route into Darjeeling, the former British colonial hill station famous for its tea estates and views of Kanchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak.
A pre-dawn excursion to Tiger Hill for sunrise views over Kanchenjunga (weather permitting), followed by a tea-estate visit and, where running, a short ride on the UNESCO-listed Darjeeling Himalayan Railway toy train.
A further day around Darjeeling, with time at the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park and Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, or simply more time among the tea gardens.
A final day in Darjeeling, with time at the Peace Pagoda or Batasia Loop before departure.
