We had a wonderful trip covering Gangtok, Zuluk, Pelling, Darjeeling, and Kalimp (Read More)ong. The itinerary planned by Debarshi was excellent, and the hotels selected offered some of the best views of the trip. Overall, everything was well planned, and we enjoyed the trip immensely.
The hotel selections, sightseeing, and overall planning were very good. Thanks to Debarshi for organizing such a memorable trip with beautiful views and wonderful experiences. Highly recommended!
The only area for improvement was Darjeeling, where we faced some issues with th (Read More)e hotel, and the three-day stay felt a little too long. In my opinion, two days would be more than enough, and even one day could be sufficient depending on the itinerary.
