Route: Kolkata – Darjeeling – Pelling – Gangtok – Kalimpong – Glenburn – Kolkata
A relaxed and scenic journey, this itinerary represents an excellent introduction to the eastern Himalayan region. Starting in Kolkata, the cultural heart of India, continue on to the old Raj hill station of Darjeeling before travelling further north to explore some of the many monasteries of Sikkim. End your journey above the banks of the Rungeet River for a relaxing stay at the Glenburn Tea Estate - a delightful plantation retreat dating from 1860. With its stunning views, comfortable rooms and a tranquil location 32kms from Darjeeling, Glenburn is a true gem.
ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS
Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim and has panoramic views of the mighty Kangchendzonga Range. Outside of the town visit the Buddhist monasteries of Rumtek and Lingdum.
Pemayangtse Monastery, founded in 1705, is decorative construction on a hill top near Pelling. The commanding views of Mount Kanchenjunga from here are impressive.
Glenburn Tea Estate, located above the Rungeet River, is a 150 year old colonial house with plenty of charm and, weather-permitting, wonderful views of the high Himalayas.
