You have just landed on the best place to find all your answers. We have arranged a six-day tour plan for the best experience on your exploration of the hills. 

Day 1 : From NJP to Sittong

Grab your essentials and rush to your preferred mode of travelling such as train, bus or flight and reach NJP (New Jalpaiguri) railway station, Siliguri or Bagdogra. From this location, you will have your next private commercial car which help you to reach your first-day tourist spot and homestay in Sittong. 

Day 2 : First Day is Sittong Day

Sittong is called Orange Hamlet and is a place of beauty and tranquillity. Its soul-satisfying ambience was something to behold. The fresh mountain air, the sound of the streams, and the lush greenery all around made for an unforgettable experience. It was a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

Sittong was part of the Kurseong division in Darjeeling, and it was a cluster of villages that stretched from lower Sittong to upper Sittong. The locals were warm and welcoming, and they were always happy to show visitors around.

There were plenty of Homestays in Sittong where visitors could spend their days and confabulate with their friends. The Homestays were cosy and comfortable, and they offered a chance to experience the local way of life. The food was delicious, and the hospitality was second to none.

Visitors to Sittong could spend their days exploring the village, trekking through the mountains, or simply relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. And in the evenings, they could gather around a bonfire and share stories with the locals.

Sittong was a place that left a lasting impression on everyone who visited. Its beauty, its people, and its atmosphere were unforgettable. And it was no wonder that it was starting to catch the attention of travellers looking for something off the beaten path.

One of the most appealing aspects of tourism in Darjeeling is the opportunity to learn about the town’s unique blend of Indian and British cultures. Darjeeling was historically a summer getaway for British colonial officials, and the town’s architecture, cuisine, and traditions bear the impression of that past.

Day 5 : Spending A Day in Darjeeling

Staying in a heritage hotel allows you to experience the colonial era’s grandeur and elegance, with spacious rooms, antique furnishings, and panoramic views of the surrounding hills and tea gardens. Hotels are frequently positioned in the centre of the city, among prominent attractions, restaurants, and shops.

If you prefer a more rural and eco-friendly experience, you can stay in a farm stay or homestay in Darjeeling, where you will live with local families and learn about their everyday lives and traditions. Homestays provide warm and cosy lodging, home-cooked meals, and opportunities to learn about local culture and customs.
