Introduction || This 2-week-long leisure holiday tour takes you on a journey in Bengal & Sikkim cities and offers a sharp contrast between them. From the old heritage city of Kolkata in the southern part of Bengal, you fly to the northern hills of Darjeeling and Sikkim. From the cacophony of the bustling cosmopolites to the serenity of a mountain village is a fascinating journey. Experience a vast cultural difference with a diverse landscape and a significant change in climate – from tropical to temperate. Explore the busy and thickly populated city of Kolkata with its extensive cultural history, heritage, and daily life of the local people. In Darjeeling, a charming hill town, enjoy its brilliant scenery of mountains, engage yourself on a nostalgic steam train ride, walk around and explore the beautiful tea gardens. In Sikkim – the former Himalayan Kingdom, explore the capital town Gangtok, a centre of Buddhist Philosophy and a mountain city in transition. Visit old monasteries, experience Monks' lives, see the rare Himalayan orchids, try exotic food, and shop for ethnic souvenirs.
