Itinerary

Day1

Arrival, Transfer to Darjeeling & Evening at Mall Road

Arrival at NJP / Bagdogra (IXB) – transfer to Darjeeling (approx. 3–4 hours by road). Check-in and relax at the hotel. In the evening, take a leisurely walk on Mall Road / Chowrasta to soak in the local vibe, shop for souvenirs, and sample street snacks. Optional short Toy Train joyride (subject to schedule and availability) around town.

Tip: Keep slippers or comfortable shoes handy for the Mall Road stroll. Altitude is mild but evenings can be chilly.

Day2

Tiger Hill Sunrise, Batasia Loop & Tea Garden Visit

Pre-dawn drive to Tiger Hill to witness the spectacular sunrise over the Eastern Himalayas and view Kanchenjunga. On the return, visit Batasia Loop and the Ghoom Monastery. Post-breakfast, enjoy a guided tour of a local tea garden (such as Happy Valley) with a tea tasting session and a walk through the tea bushes. Evening free for leisure or optional visit to the Tibetan Refugee Self-Help Centre.

Important: Tiger Hill visits start early (approx. 4:00–5:00 AM). Plan clothing layers for cold mornings. Check our guide on the best time to visit North-East to plan your trip around ideal weather conditions.
