Namchi Tour Packages

facilities and service could have been much better, which was a letdown. Darjeeling Stay (Jagjeet Yuma): Our stay at Jagjeet Yuma in Darjeeling was delightful. The hotel provided a comfortable and cozy environment, with excellent service that enhanced our experience. Transportation and Drivers: The drivers throughout our journey were professional, and punctual. They navigated the challenging mountain roads skillfully and ensured a safe and smooth journey for our family. Sightseeing Highlights: In Gangtok, we visited beautiful spots like Nathual pass (China Border) , Namchi and Changu Lake. The transfer to Darjeeling included scenic stops and sightseeing. In Darjeeling, we loved exploring Tiger Hill, Ghoom Monastery, Mirik Lake, Pashupati Temple Nepal. Overall Experience: Despite some issues with the Gangtok accommodation, the trip as a whole was an amazing family experience. The stunning views, serene landscapes, and time spent together made it a journey we’ll always cherish.

jeeling was great.

gra that lost one day hotel stay amount in Gangtok and Nathula pass also missed, that bit unhappy in the trip and rest all are good service and hotels are good except Lachung. Would have better co-ordination with flight booking agents and hotel agents but not to charge that amount from customers. Zeronpoint was good, Namchi and early morning view of Kanchanjung mountain from peeling hotle was superb.

, rather than my requests, Mr. Amol from Round the Corner (RTC) frequently communicated with me to design an itinerary which was confortable and covered major locations while providing adequate rest beteen different travels. It must be noted that the hill roads and times indicated by google maps are grossly wrong - atleast in sikkim. The roads Google shows often are not motorable and times indicated are short by 2 hours. Trust the Driver and no one else. We had planned for Bagdogra-Gangtok-Lachen-Lachung-Gangtok-Pelling-Bagdogra. Just 2 weeks before our trip, there was a Dam burst in upper Sikkim and major floods. After waiting for a few days to assess the situation, He called and we decided to change the itinerary to leave out the flood affected Lachen/Lachung and added Darjeeling instead. Once the trip started, his colleague - Mr Progess Bhujel took over the coordination. He would call daily to check how we were doing, provide detailed plan for the next day, send driver details and also share tips about local attractions to see. On his own he would also arrange call to hotel at the destination city so that we could pre-order our dinner while were still in the car. This way we would have dinner ready by the time we reach the hotel, since most hotels stop taking orders by 8:30. Such care! The hotels provided by them were very good. They were no-frills hotel but the rooms and maintenance was excellent!. In Gangtok the room had a view of the entire valley. In Pelling Kanchanjunga was clearly visible from the room balcony from very close. We could see Sunrise over the peak right from our bed !, the same was the case with the hotel in Darjeeling. Excellent choice of rooms! Since we were travelling with kids he was more concerned about them getting motion sickness than were, but thanks to half tablet of 'Avomine' in the morning, neither my wife not kids had any problems. For the trip to Nathula pass, permits have to be made. He asked us to send a copy of our documents a week before the trip. So the permits were all prepared and ready when we came. So when we went to Nathula, the driver just stopped for 10 minutes at the permit office, picked up our permits and we were on our way - while we could see several other tourists and cars waiting anxiously and lining up for theirs. Good planning by RTC! I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the Drivers and cars changed with each leg of the journey. I feel this was actually good - because this way the driver was not away from his home for too long and in some cases could go to his home at night after dropping us off at the hotel. The drivers and cars provided were also very good. The roads are narrow and curvy and ofen have space for only one vehicle. The drivers were polite, very experienced and would not show any sign of road-rage/un necessary overtaking. Instead would halt some distace away from the narrow spots to allow the vehicles coming in opposite direction to pass, infact even got down to help other drivers stuck on the road. We saw this civilized driving in most divers in Sikkim - which is a stark contrast to the crazy driving in Mumbai. In one leg of our trip we had to go from Gangtok-Namchi-Ravangla-Pelling. While most of the roads in Sikkim are quite good and well mainted, The one from Ravangla to Pelling is bad and almost a big crater and landslide ridden dirt road right at the edge of the cliff. By the time we left from Ravangla it was already dark (it gets dark by 5:30 PM), but the driver was extremely skilled and drove through that road with great skill and even helped a fellow driver change his tire on the way! Hotel Reviews: Gangtok-Alpine Hill retreat. The Hotel is a simple, clean and well maintained hotel with a decent restaurant. The room provided had an excellent view of the entire Gangtok Valley. The staff was very attentive and courteous. The common areas were very aesthetically decorated and gave a feel of the Tibetian vibe. The Hotel is on a quite road a bit away from the main city center, but is still fairly well connected. Gangtok city itself is very beautiful with lots of tourist attractions. I will not list the attractions here - you can see them in other blogs. The city has well maintained roads and is very clean. Pelling - Rufina Palm Bliss: The Hotel is a simple, clean and well maintained hotel with a decent restaurant. The room provided had an excellent view of Mt. Kanchanjunga from our room balcony from very close. It seemed not more than 50-60 km from there!. We could see Sunrise over the peak right from our bed! Pelling is a tourist city full of Hotels and restaurants, still very well maintained and clean. Darjeeling - Sumitel Suites: This hotel is actually a part of mall by the same name. Its rooms, restaurant, lobby etc are spread across various floors of the mall. The Hotel is a simple, clean and well maintained hotel with a decent restaurant. The room provided had an excellent view of Mt. Kanchanjunga. Darjeeling city by itself was bit of a turn-off, possibly because we were coming from Pelling Sikkim which was gorgeous!. Darjeeling has narrow roads, excessive traffic, one way roads, haphazard construction and occasional piles of trash. The famous 'Toy train' was the biggest turn off for me. It was exhorbitant - Rs 1000 or 1500 per person depending on whether you choose Diesel or Steam engine. Frankly it doesn't matter. while inside the train you don't see the engine, and several trains travel together, so you can always take photos with steam engine of another train at the stops. Strongly recommend advance booking through IRCTC, else you may not get it at all - over the counter. The Train would surely have been excellent in olden days as it could travel along the mountain edges - BUT now there is rampant construction on either side of the railway track, so the Mountain/valley is hardly visible, there are shops almost touching the track. Sadly the Toy train experience has been reduced to a Kolkata Tram. Avoidable. We did not do the ropeway, possibly that may be better. The 'Tea garden' visit was just a 100 m walk on a trail littered with packets of eatables and some tourists taking photos in local costumes. For most other attractions, the parking is far off/ or have no parking, so one has to walk long distances - so not suitable for older parents. the attractions themselves are very good though, especially the Zoo and montaineering institute, tiger point.

xplained lot of things about local culture and traditions of Sikkim. Best part of trip was Nathula and Zero Point. We have covered Namchi, Temi Tea Garden, Ravangla as well. These are must visited places. We missed Lachen and Pelling this time. Darjeeling was not good. Traffic was chaotic. Overall, it was good experience. Thanks Jeremy to make this trip unforgettable.

l trip experience was OK, expected to be more joyful. Couldn’t happen due to lack of good hotels and sometime issue with transportations.   1st and 2nd day experience in hotel in Gantok (The Royal Residency by Jain Group) was NOT at all GOOD. Put up in ground floor and 3-4 guys banging Hotel main door at 12:30 in the night. Had to go and wake up the sleeping staff to see what’s the issue. It was not at all pleasant experience. Next morning, asked for room change and shifted to first floor, where things were OK. Food was good.   3rd Day Hotel in Lachen (Klifton Crown) was good considering the weather and being a small town.   4th Day Hotel in Lachung (Lachung Klifton) was Pathetic. A so called 3 star hotel was just a 10*10 room with not even a simple hanger to put the cloths, forget about almirah and all. Everything had to be put on floor. To add more horror, called twice the coordinator to clean flying bees and cobweb. It was really a Horrible experience.   5th Day experience in hotel in Gangtok (The Royal Residency by Jain Group) was OK. Provided good room and food was good same as last time.   6th and 7th Hotel in Pelling (Jain Group Sonamchen) was good at first night and same prob again in second night. No Control of Hotel Management on Guests making noises at 2 AM in the night. Had to get up make complain but no action. Morning same response, Sorry Sir, Can’t do anything.   8th Day hotel in Darjeeling (Udaan hotel zambala retreat) was ok. Food and services were fine. Only problem is location being in crowded place, near to railway station, outside noise.   May be Yes Tourism ‘s coordinator Reva and Kirti, could not understand my requirements and kept making mistakes. Hotels were of Average quality and they were keep saying it’s 3-4 star hotels   Transportation -  Mr Vijay was very good and patient. Travelling with him was joy. Always ready to take small breaks and help. But his colleague Mr Nagen (assigned for Lachen & Lachung) provided by Mr Baichung, was good for Day one. But on Day 2, He decided that he will not go to Zero Point, and in spite of multiple requests, He did not go. He accepted that He did not wish to come to Lachen/Lachung and was forced to do so. Now he will not Go, do whatever you want, were his final words. Couldn’t see zero point and dropped to Gangtok at 5:00 PM in the evening. Left extremely disappointed. Same thing is done by Mr Vimal not to visit Samdrupse in Namchi, even after informing in advance that we wish to visit. He refused to go (Additional point on additional cost)   Final Feedback : Yes Travel : Avoid if Possible, due to not fulfilling their commitments and Just get the booking kind of attitude. Transportation : Mr Vijay–We as tourist travel once in years, and like to explore maximum. Please Do not assign un-committed & non-interested drivers. It’s very disappointing when we get arrogance and cold response from the drivers. Travel Triangle: Might not go for next trip,  for their dipping quality of travel partners.

ng else went fine.

p was excellent, giving us a memorable trip. This trip was one of the best trips I had ever had. My special thanks go to Mr. Subhankar Rajak (contact no: +91 86176 95749). I really appreciate this friendly nature and suggestion provided on the hotel selection. Everything was looked after carefully and the trip was very well organized. He worked on making our you’re memorable. He provided his best services in terms of good Hotels, expert drivers, and comfortable transportation. As per my requirement, I requested a 4-star hotel with having an awesome view of mountains having snow. I really appreciate it, he arranged/suggested his best. Our stay at Magpie Pachhu Village Resort in Pelling and Silver Star Boutique in Darjeeling was also very comfortable. The latter even provides spellbinding mountain views. Lachen and Lachung hotels were average but the view from my room was awesome. When I woke up in the morning, I saw snow mountain having yellow lighting from the rising sun on that. I have no word to explain that beauty. TSOMGO LAKE & BABA MANDIR, NATHULA and TASHI VIEWPOINT in Gangtok, numbers of Waterfalls, GURUDONGMAR LAKE, KALA PATHER in Lachen, ZERO POINT & YUMTHANG VALLEY in Lachung and Ancient ruins in Pelling (NAMCHI CHARDHAM RAVANGLA) have a beauty that goes beyond words. Sunrise at TIGER HILL Darjeeling has an awesome experience having no words to explain. Even the camera couldn’t do just what they looked like in real life. Our time here was amazing and I would like to thank Mr. Subhankar once again for making all the arrangements and giving us a comfortable trip. He always treated me as a brother and called every day for trip details and take feedback on the trip. Make My Holiday Tour And Travel is so good and works transparently. The response received from them is appreciated. They work hard to make their customers’ trips memorable and easy. I definitely recommend “Make My Holiday Tour And Travel“ to people who are looking forward to visiting Sikkim in the most cooperative and friendly way.

in the pre-decide itineraries. Nishant’s team wasn’t present there physically but they tried their best to solve any problem thrown to them. Positives - There was road construction work in progress, causing difficulty in connecting the Gangtok hotel. On request my Gangtok hotel was changed for last 2 days. North Sikkim driver, Prithvi, was very professional, thanks to him we met a local family and got to try local cuisines. East Sikkim permit was not granted due to snowfall, they gave alternatives to choose from Namchi & Ravangla. Negative - Lack of coordination among the team members :( But that can be understood as they are constantly connected with several travelers at the same time.... some need rescue, some has hotel problems, some car problems. Idea is, if you face any issue, immediately highlight to the team and they will solve it for you :) Snowfall in Lachen !!! Professionalism of North Sikkim Driver :)
