Turn back the clock to the British Raj. This route avoids the high peaks and focuses on heritage. Stay in colonial bungalows, ride the UNESCO World Heritage Toy Train, and walk through the silent pine forests of Dow Hill. It’s moody, misty, and smells of first-flush Darjeeling tea
Arrive at Bagdogra/NJP. We take the scenic Hill Cart Road, passing the heritage Toy Train tracks, to reach Darjeeling (6,700 ft). Check into your colonial-style room. The evening is free to walk the Mall Road, visit the Oxford Book Store, and sip tea at Glenary’s.
Overnight: Darjeeling
Pre-dawn drive to Tiger Hill for the sunrise over Kanchenjunga. Return via the Batasia Loop (War Memorial) and Ghoom Monastery. Post breakfast, visit the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and the Zoo. In the afternoon, we recommend a Joy Ride (Optional) on the UNESCO World Heritage Steam Engine train.
Overnight: Darjeeling
We drive through the Nepal border road to Mirik (4,900 ft). The landscape changes to gentle slopes and orange orchards. Visit the Gopaldhara Tea Estate en route. Arrive at Sumendu Lake, surrounded by a Dhupi forest. Enjoy a boat ride or a horse ride around the lake. The vibe here is slow and silent.
Overnight: Mirik
A short drive to Kurseong. Unlike busy Darjeeling, Kurseong is haunted and beautiful. Visit Eagle’s Crag for a panoramic view of the plains. Explore the mysterious Dow Hill forests (Deer Park) and the historic Forest Museum. Walk through the clouds at the Makaibari or Ambootia tea gardens.
Overnight: Kurseong
Kurseong is closest to the plains. A short, easy drive drops you to Bagdogra Airport/NJP Station.
