The art and sculptures you come across here have a way of leaving you genuinely speechless. Our carefully put together itinerary walks you through the very finest that North East India has to offer, covering all the sights and sounds that make this region so unforgettable.

Detailed Itinerary
North East India has a warmth to it that you feel the moment you arrive. On the first day of this Gangtok Pelling Darjeeling tour, you will land at NJP Railway Station or Bagdogra Airport and make your way straight to Gangtok, a town sitting at 1,437 meters that has a way of making every kind of traveller feel right at home. Check in at the hotel, put your bags down and give yourself a moment to breathe. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace. We would suggest stepping out and getting a feel for the area around you, because Gangtok is the kind of place that rewards a little wandering. The marketplaces and eateries here are plentiful, and a slow walk through the narrow lanes, traditional gatherings and busy bazaars gives you a genuine glimpse into the soul of this town.
MG Marg
MG Marg is where most people end up and for very good reason. Goods from across India sit comfortably alongside Tibetan market finds, giving you plenty to browse through. Make sure you try some of the local food while you are at it, and take a few minutes to just sit on one of the street benches and watch the whole lively scene unfold around you. Head back to the hotel when the evening draws in, enjoy a good dinner and get a solid night of sleep before the adventures ahead.
