Discover Darjeeling's Charm with Exclusive Tour Packages - Plan My Tour

That first glimpse of Kanchenjunga at sunrise. Peaks turning gold and pink while everything else stays dark. Like painting comes alive.
Darjeeling does that to people. Makes them forget why they were stressed.
Rolling tea gardens. Toy train chugging through curves. Monasteries where monks have sat for centuries. This hill station has something other places just cannot replicate. And if you’ve been putting off this trip? Stop waiting.
Plan My Tour builds Darjeeling tour packages for travelers wanting real experiences. Not those rushed trips where you’re back in the car before settling into the view.

Why Darjeeling Pulls People Back

Here’s what most don’t expect until arriving.

Darjeeling isn’t one place. It’s layers stacked on each other. Wake at 4 AM for Tiger Hill and you’re watching Kanchenjunga—third highest peak in the world—turn orange as light hits. Some clear mornings you spot Everest in the distance. Not joking about that.

Then the Toy Train. UNESCO World Heritage stuff. Narrow gauge steam railway still running after 140 years. The Batasia Loop section spirals around the war memorial with views of the entire town below. Five to ten minutes of pure magic if you take the train through instead of just driving past.

But Darjeeling isn’t only about views and trains honestly.

The tea. World famous for a reason. Happy Valley Tea Estate goes back to 1854. Watch leaves being plucked. See processing happening. Understand why Darjeeling tea costs what it does. Then taste it fresh. Completely different from packets back home.

Places That Actually Matter

Darjeeling is  a captivating beauty of North East which possesses various innumerable number of breathtaking landscapes to be discovered and enjoy its serenity.

Tiger Hill

Highest point around. About a 30-40 minute drive from the main town. People arrive between 3:30 and 5:30 AM catching the sunrise. When clouds cooperate? Snow peaks light up in ways that stay with you. Even afternoon visits offer stunning layers of forest-covered mountains stretching forever.

Batasia Loop

Where Toy Train makes a complete circle descending. War memorial honoring Gorkha soldiers. Panoramic views below. You can visit by road or take the train through. The train is honestly better.

Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park

India’s highest zoo. About 7,000 feet up. Established 1958. Snow leopards. Tibetan wolves. Red pandas—everyone’s favorite but plenty of other animals worth time. Himalayan Mountaineering Institute sits right next door. Good combo for a full morning

Japanese Peace Pagoda

Built on Jalaphar Hill slopes. Buddha statues in four incarnations. One of the most peaceful spots around. That quiet makes you realize how noisy regular life has become.

Ghoom Monastery

Gelukpa sect. Yellow Hat tradition. Famous 15-feet tall Maitreya Buddha statue. Oldest monastery in Darjeeling region. Demands slow wandering.

Happy Valley Tea Estate

Second-oldest in Darjeeling. Since 1854. Lush slopes overlooking Himalayan foothills. Watch processing. Learn fermentation. Sample what you won’t find elsewhere.

Lamahatta

About 45 minutes from town via Jorbangla. Eco park with pine and dhupi forests. Trek to top takes 40 minutes—moderate difficulty. Sacred pond at summit. Kanchenjunga views. Tea stalls with Maggi and steamed momos. The simple pleasures.

When To Go

March to May works beautifully. Clear skies mostly. Rhododendrons are blooming everywhere. Pleasant temperatures for walking around.

October to December brings post-monsoon clarity. Mountain visibility at best. Cooler weather feels refreshing.

June to September is monsoon. Clouds blocking views often. Some roads are getting tricky. Skip unless you want that misty mysterious atmosphere specifically.

Winter gets cold. Really cold. But fewer crowds and clearer skies when weather cooperates.

Getting There

Bagdogra Airport nearest. About 90 kilometers from Darjeeling town. It takes roughly 3 hours by road. Winding mountain drive that’s part of the experience honestly. New Jalpaiguri station connects most major cities. Similar road journey up from there. The Toy Train from NJP takes about 7-8 hours. Slow but unforgettable if you have time for it. Most people do it one way and road the other.
