Our Sikkim and Darjeeling trip was well planned and organized. The hotels provid (Read More)ed throughout the journey were comfortable, clean, and met our expectations. A special thanks to Anuradha Ma'am for her continuous support, prompt responses, and assistance before and during the trip. Her guidance made the overall experience smooth and enjoyable. The Sikkim portion of the tour was excellent and exceeded our expectations.
While our experience in Sikkim was excellent, the Darjeeling portion of the trip (Read More) could have been better. The driver assigned in Darjeeling displayed rude and unprofessional behavior, which affected our overall experience. Better customer service and courteous behavior from the driver would have made the trip much more enjoyable.
