From the moment you set foot on this adventure, you’re embraced by a tapestry of experiences that showcase the vibrant essence of these Himalayan regions.

Moving on, the tour directs its course toward Darjeeling, a name that resonates with the aroma of freshly brewed tea. The hill town welcomes you with open arms, offering a glimpse into its colonial past with a visit to the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and the Darjeeling Zoo, home to rare Himalayan fauna like the red panda and snow leopard. And as the sun stretches its rays across the horizon, the ascent to Tiger Hill awaits, unveiling a breathtaking sunrise casting hues of orange and gold upon the snow-capped Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak, an ethereal moment etched forever in memory.
The journey, meticulously crafted by Bhutan Travel Gate, isn’t merely about sightseeing; it’s an odyssey that immerses you in the local culture, flavors, and traditions.
