Sikkim Darjeeling Gangtok
Sikkim and Darjeeling, particularly the capital Gangtok, offer a blend of Himalayan beauty, cultural richness, and adventure. Gangtok is known for its stunning natural attractions like Tsomgo Lake, Ban Jhakri Falls, and Tashi Viewpoint, as well as its monasteries and views of Kanchenjunga. Darjeeling, on the other hand, is famous for its classic hill station vibes, tea gardens, and the iconic Toy Train. A trip to both locations can be combined for a diverse experience.
