Arrival at NJP / Bagdogra, Drive to Gangtok
Your romantic getaway begins the moment our driver welcomes you at NJP Railway Station or Bagdogra Airport. Set off on a beautiful drive up into the hills, tracing the winding Teesta river all the way to Gangtok. On arrival, step into a lovingly flower-decorated room — our little way of setting the mood for your special trip.

Tsomgo Lake, Baba Mandir & Nathu La

Continue to the revered Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir, and onward to the historic Nathu La Pass (on a separate permit, subject to opening days and weather). Return to the warmth of your Gangtok hotel by evening.

Pelling to Darjeeling
Cross back into West Bengal and make the scenic climb up to the beloved 'Queen of the Hills', Darjeeling, arriving in the afternoon.
