Receive the group from Bagdogra airport and drive to Darjeeling via Mirik.

Overnight at Blue Dragon Homestay situated in the foothills of Tiger Hill, at the altitude of 2300m above sea level.

Guests are welcomed with a traditional cup of Sherpa tea and Khada (silk blessing scarf). All the rooms are simply but tastefully decorated with woodwork finishes throughout. This all adds to keep the warmth, especially during the winter months but also a freshness. We want the experience to be a home away from home.

Day 2

Wake up with fresh Darjeeling tea, and traditional Sherpa breakfast.

After breakfast, we start our day sightseeing. On our list are some of the oldest monuments and significant historical places of the area.

At the end of the day, we venture to the highest point in Darjeeling Tiger Hill, for a cup of famous Darjeeling tea and a sunset that will last in your memories for years to come. The view of Mount Kanchenjunga, the 3rd highest mountain in the world, and the entire range before you. (The sunset tea concept was introduced by Mr. Dawa Sherpa after many years of observing the local area where most people crowd for sunrise – this experience is unique)

Day 3

A big day ahead, after breakfast we drive to Dhotray, or Chitray, two (2), an hour drive from our homestay. From here we start hiking, our professional trekking guide will take you up slowly through forests continuing into the sub-alpine and alpine zone, till we reach a height of 3000m. Here the air is thinner and at times it is hard to breathe but, the view is magnificent!

We stay overnight at a local lodge (camping optional and can be arranged), where all your pains and tiredness will fall away over a cup of tea, a warm fire, good company, and the day just shared.

As mentioned camping can be arranged Blue Dragon has high altitude tents, sleeping bags, and comfortable mattresses. If you want to continue the homestay experience this can also be accommodated. Depending on the weather conditions, sunset and sunrise from our overnight point are a must and worth the effort.

Day 4

An early start to witness the magnificent sunrise, where the mountains change colors as the day begins and the sun warms is in its golden orange glow.

After breakfast we head back to Darjeeling but this time in the comfort of our vehicle. It takes around three (3) hours winding back through small villages and forests and spectacular vistas. The afternoon is free to roam Darjeeling town. Overnight, Blue Dragon Homestay.
