Places on the way

Every stop, viewpoint and village our trips can include. Open one for what's there, which packages visit it, and where to sleep nearby.

The 4 am start everyone grumbles about and nobody regrets. Kanchenjunga turns pink before the sun clears the ridge.

Every house has an orchard. From November to January you'll be handed fruit off the tree. A river bend, a bamboo bridge, and real quiet.

Darjeeling's living room. Benches, ponies, Glenary's, Keventer's breakfast and the woollens market on the way down.

A tidy pine grove and a manicured garden slope you can stroll in an hour, with prayer flags and a small sacred pond at the top.

The UNESCO-listed steam train spirals through the loop with the Gorkha memorial in the middle and Kanchenjunga behind.

Makaibari, Castleton, Ambootia: walk a slope of tea bushes, see the factory, and taste the difference between flushes.

Boats on Sumendu Lake, the arched Indreni bridge, and a 3.5 km walk around the water under pines.

A white stupa on Jalapahar hill with four gilded Buddhas and, from the terrace, the whole town stacked below you.

The 1941 arch bridge at Sevoke where the plains end and the hills begin. Green water, a chai stop, and the turn-off for Sittong.

Ridge-top homestays with tea gardens below and pine walks behind.

Sunrise at Tiger Hill, the Mall, and a proper cup of tea.
