This journey to Darjeeling, Sikkim and the 'Dragon Kingdom' of Bhutan
will appeal to any enthusiast wanting to appreciate the splendor and
culture of the East Himalayas without the commitment to bike.
From Calcutta we ascend to the renowned hill station of Darjeeling,
famed for its tea plantations and unforgettable sights of Kangchenjunga
- the third highest mountain in the world.
Traveling across the terraced hillsides and sub-tropical forest we
continue to Gangtok, the capital of the former Kingdom of Sikkim. We
visit the Rumtek Monastery before continuing to Kalimpong where trade
between British India and Tibet thrived during the first half of the
century.
