Our guide, Ram, was very understanding and supportive throughout.🤩

Tried a travel package for the first time in my life — and I’m genuinely impressed! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the entire experience turned out to be far better than I had imagined. Every little detail was taken care of beautifully. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-located.

I am delighted that I chose Safar Wanderlust for my first trip to Himachal. I didn't even realize it had passed after these five days because everything had gone so smoothly and nicely. Our trip was unforgettable thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Ram Thakur sir. To us, he was more like a buddy than a tour guide. I had a terrific encounter with him! You have given me the greatest memories of my life and made every penny worth it ✨️.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an incredible trip guided by Ram, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, his professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality made our journey truly special. Ram's deep understanding of the local culture, history, and terrain added immense value to our trip. He shared fascinating stories and insightful details that we would have otherwise missed.

Before you go
You need them for restricted-area permits such as Tsomgo Lake.
Leave Darjeeling around 4 am to catch sunrise.
Tsomgo and Tiger Hill are cold even in spring.
Good to know
Yes. Tsomgo (Changu) Lake, Nathula and North Sikkim are restricted areas. Indian nationals need a permit, arranged through a registered local operator with ID and photos. Foreign nationals face more restrictions.
Pelling gives some of the closest views, especially at sunrise. Tiger Hill near Darjeeling is famous for the sunrise light on Kanchenjunga, and on clear days Gangtok also has good viewpoints. Views are clearest from October to December.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The short joy ride from Darjeeling to Ghum and back loops around Batasia and is the easiest way to experience it.
Very. Roads are good by mountain standards, towns are clean and safe, and most sightseeing does not involve long walks. Tsomgo Lake is at about 3,700 m, so elderly travellers should take it slow there.
