Best Time

March to May and October to December for the clearest mountain views.

Overview

Darjeeling and Gangtok sit close enough together to combine in one trip, connected by a scenic mountain drive across the Teesta. We schedule the Tiger Hill sunrise for Darjeeling's first clear morning rather than the first morning outright, since Kanchenjunga is often clouded over and it's worth the flexibility to try twice.

Trip Highlights

  • Tiger Hill sunrise over the Kanchenjunga range
  • Darjeeling Himalayan Railway toy train, a UNESCO heritage line
  • Tea estate walk and tasting near Darjeeling
  • Tsomgo Lake day trip from Gangtok
  • MG Marg evening stroll, Gangtok
