This thoughtfully curated <\/span>trip package<\/span> comes in two variants – one with just accommodation and one with accommodation and travel. Here\u2019s a quick glimpse of what this package has in store for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gangtok, the Gateway to Tranquility<\/b><\/p>\n

Your <\/span>vacation trip<\/span> begins in the city of Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. The city is known for its spiritual calm and breathtaking landscapes, not to mention juicy momos and soupy thukpas. Here, you\u2019ll be staying at Sterling Gangtok – Orange Village. A tranquil retreat that has stunning views of the mountains that surrounds it. The aroma of fresh oranges is always in the air, since this property is surrounded by orange orchards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are exploring Gangtok, don\u2019t forget to visit the Tsomgo Lake. This lake is also called Changu Lake at times. Just a 40 kilometre drive from Gangtok, it is one among the few high altitude lakes in the country. As the reflection of the mountains fall on the lake, it forms a mesmerising view.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are someone who would rather feel the thrill, then we would encourage you to drive over to the Nathu La Pass. Located close to the Indo-China border in the Dongkya Range of the Himalayas, this adventure capital was once part of the Silk Route. Today, it offers a thrilling adventure experience in high altitudes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darjeeling, the Queen of the Hills<\/b><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve explored Gangtok to your heart\u2019s content, your <\/span>family trip package<\/span> continues to the iconic hill station of Darjeeling. Here, the charm of colonial architecture meets the grandeur of the Himalayan mountains. Your stay here will be at Sterling Darjeeling. Located at the heart of this enchanting town, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga from here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During your stay, don\u2019t forget to take a ride on the iconic toy trains here. Many famous Bollywood movies were shot in this train, giving it a nostalgic yet romantic feel. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is not just a legendary tourist spot, but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a tea drinker, then don\u2019t forget to visit one of the local tea estates. A tour through the Darjeeling tea gardens to learn about the extensive and laborious tea making process and the history of the tea gardens is the experience of a lifetime. At the end of your tour, you can enjoy a cup of freshly brewed tea.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Reach<\/b><\/p>\n

Gangtok is easy to reach by air, with the Bagdogra Ariport being the nearest hub. If you are planning a train journey for your <\/span>vacation trip<\/span>, then the New Jalpaiguri Railway Station is also not too far. You can also reach Gangtok via well connected roads from Kolkata or Guwahati.<\/span><\/p>\n
