Overview
This six-day escape carries you from the prayer-flag hillsides of Gangtok to the glacial hush of Tsomgo Lake, then over the Teesta valley into Darjeeling's emerald tea estates. Expect monasteries wrapped in mist, a joyride on the century-old toy train, and mornings that open with Kanchenjunga catching the first light.
