Darjeeling + Sikkim Combo Tour

Combine Darjeeling and Sikkim in one well-paced itinerary from Kolkata.

This combined itinerary covers Darjeeling’s tea gardens and viewpoints alongside Gangtok and Sikkim’s monasteries and mountain passes, with comfortable transfers between the two regions.

Best Time to Visit

March to May and October to December offer the clearest mountain views for both Darjeeling and Sikkim; the monsoon months (June–September) bring landslides and poor visibility.

Distance & How to Reach

By road from Kolkata, it is roughly 600 km (around 12–13 hours); alternatively, fly to Bagdogra Airport (around 1 hour) and continue by road (roughly 3 hours to Darjeeling, 4–5 hours to Gangtok).

Sample Itinerary

Days 1–3: Darjeeling — Tiger Hill sunrise, the toy train, tea estate visits. Days 4–6: Gangtok and Sikkim — MG Marg, Tsomgo Lake, and Nathula (permit required).
