Magnificent Darjeeling

Post by Virender | Durgapur | Dec 27, 2012

Keep winter wears with you ... No need to carry hard cash in much quantity... Just enjoy with nature... Do not visit too much spots if you want to enjoy nature and I feel Darjeeling local is much beautiful because if you will plan for other nearby place like Koersing, pelling or Gangtok in a single tour, you may all time be traveling and not able to enjoy the beauty of nature.... Reaching Siliguri or NJP by train is a good method and from there private taxi service is good they charge rs 120 per person.. you can travel by toy train but prior booking is required. if you want to go by plain bagdogra airport is nearest... DO not visit in rainy season... and if visiting near dussera or in vacation time please book your hotel in advance because at that time it is almost next to impossible to find a accommodation...

Package Tour

Better season to see the Snow Capped Kanchenjunga Peak is in the month of October when the sky is Clear. Presently there were clouds, so we could not see Kanchunjunga Peak. You can reach Darjeeling by Train upto New jalpaiguri and By Air upto Bagdogra Airport. From there about 90 km distance of Darjeeling has to be travelled by Taxi.
