Trip Introduction

Sikkim and Darjeeling Overland Tour is one of the most beautiful tour site of the India which is nestled between Nepal, China and West Bengal India.

Sikkim, a former kingdom with the fascinating Himalayas is situated in Eastern Himalayas lying below Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,534m), the third highest mountain in the world. Sikkim clasped in between the mountainous kingdoms of Bhutan and Nepal offers a wide potential in tourism that has yet largely remained unexploited. With the multicultural touch, this yet to be traversed tiny state in India is full of snow-capped mountains, lush green tropical and temperate forests, gurgling streams and the rich flora and fauna a true Shangri-La.

Darjeeling is a town in the Indian territory of West Bangel. It is situated in the Lesser Himalayan at the stature of 2,042.2 m. Darjeeling is among the most pleasant slope stations in India having tea gardens delivering the best tea on the planet. It has stunning pines, unimaginable orchids, and overpowering rhododendrons. The beguiling Himalayan Train shrieks the route through the Himalayas.
