"Tiger Hill Sunrise pickup at 3:45 AM was spot-on!"

"We were worried about finding a cab in Darjeeling at 3:30 AM for the Kanchenjunga sunrise. The driver arrived 15 minutes early with car heater on! He knew the shortcut road to avoid the traffic bottleneck near the summit gate. Excellent service, five stars without hesitation."

The prime months are March to May (spring rhododendron blooms) and October to December (crisp autumn skies with uninterrupted views of Mount Kanchenjunga).
Standard North Bengal and Darjeeling destinations do not require permits for domestic tourists. For Sikkim or protected border regions, our team handles all Inner Line Permit (ILP) documentation seamlessly.

Darjeeling and Dooars require no permits for domestic or international tourists. For destinations located in Sikkim (Gangtok, Pelling, Tsomgo Lake, and North Sikkim), Indian citizens require standard entry permits which our team arranges upon arrival using your Voter ID/Passport and photos.

During summer and spring, light woolens and windcheaters are sufficient for evenings. In autumn and winter (October through February), heavy thermal innerwear, down jackets, woolen caps, and gloves are essential, especially for early morning sunrise excursions.
