Darjeeling & Kalimpong 5N/6D – Offbeat & Onbeat Trip
Darjeeling & Kalimpong Trip 5N/6D – Offbeat & Onbeat Experience
Darjeeling is known for its tea gardens, iconic viewpoints, and vibrant streets, but beyond the city lies a quieter world—villages tucked into the hills, serene monasteries, pine forests, and peaceful trails. This 5N/6D Darjeeling & Kalimpong Trip blends the best of both: the energy of Darjeeling town and the calm of hidden Himalayan hamlets.
Your journey begins in Mamring (Sittong region) with its orange orchards, forest walks, and misty lakes. From there, you’ll explore the spiritual and scenic side of Darjeeling city, with visits to monasteries, Batasia Loop, Japanese Temple, and the lively Mall Road. At Lamahatta’s Sherpa Gaon, you’ll find peace among pine forests and mountain views, while Kalimpong Daragaon offers heritage monasteries, nurseries, and the charm of hill-town life. Finally, your trip takes you deeper into Kalimpong, where you’ll explore its stunning viewpoints, tea gardens, and cultural gems.
This trip is carefully designed for those who want to experience both offbeat calm and onbeat vibrance, creating a journey that feels complete, soulful, and unforgettable.
