Darjeeling in northeast India provides the prefect ambience of a hill resort with its mild climate and laid-back charm. Its verdant hills and valleys are steeped in color, and are interspersed with vast stretches of lush green tea gardens. Presiding over all these is the 8,586 m Mt. Kanchenjunga looming over the northern horizon, giving a magical aura to the land that entices thousands to its environs and leaves all the senses intoxicated.  Darjeeling town, Kalimpong and Kurseong are the major urban centers. Heavily influenced by British India, Darjeeling still retains legacies of its colonial past. The toy train is one of the most striking examples of Darjeeling 's British Raj influence.

Sikkim offers the magical feel of Himalayan fairytale land. It is an amazing place of hidden valleys, mystical monasteries, snow-fed lakes and a mountain setting covered with flowers and forests. This former kingdom is home to three major population groups - the Lephas, Bhutanese and Nepalese - providing a colorful composite of cultures. The variation in elevations gives Sikkim diverse climatic conditions as a result of which Sikkim has a large variety of flora and fauna.  Come share the wonders of Sikkim . It'll be an experience that you'll cherish forever
