Siliguri Tour Packages

Overall it was a great trip. Our agent did a great Job. Helped us through all formalities and was very clear and detail about content of trip. Helped me through immigration difficulties. She was in touch with us our whole trip. Our guide (Sonam) and driver were great. They were vey helping and supported us like family members. All hotels were great. Hotel Lobesa was best. Breakfast in hotels were good. We enjoyed every moment of trip. Pickup and drop from Siliguri was also planned ahead of time and it was good. All places were good. Best part was paro and punakha. Villages in between cities were good. We enjoyed local food, dance .

After much research and discussion, we decided to do a Sikkim Darjeeling family trip in April. I decided to use travel triangle to find good quotes and finally went with an 8 day/7-night package from an agent called Dream Destinations/Sikkim Hills Travels. I specifically asked for a good comfortable SUV since we will be spending a lot of time on the road. I also requested that the hotels be 3 or 4 stars with deluxe rooms since there were kids and elderly. I also asked 100 times about travelling during elections. I was assured that everything will be taken care of and there was nothing to worry about. Here is our experience Hotels - The first hotel we stayed was Mandarva in Gangtok and it was good and just what we asked for. Clean, neat and good breakfast. We also had a lovely view of the city from our window. Unfortunately, it was in a residential area with no hotels or anything else nearby. It was too far from the shops/restaurants like MG Marg. In Sikkim, the sun sets by 5.30 pm and in the summer, it also rains heavily in the evening. So, taking a taxi and going out in the wet, dark hilly area is not really an easy option. So, we asked for a hotel that was close to MG Marg. They changed it to Pearl Retreat which was an older/ok ok hotel. However, they were kind and accommodative of my request to keep food ready on a day when we got stranded and returned pretty late. The worst hotel we stayed was a place called ‘Daksha’ in Pelling (Naming and Shaming here very intentionally). It was dirty, unhygienic and chaotic with clueless staff and run like a hostel forget deluxe standards here. Basic was also so terrible. We found out bed linen had hair, dirt marks and dust all over. They gave us a room without dusting, same old linen and a wet bathroom. Also, on the 3rd floor and no lift. I didn’t even want to stay there for 1 night! The other hotels were passable or okay. Cab and Driver – Spending a minimum of 4-5 hours in the car is unavoidable in Sikkim. As per our request we were given a nice SUV (a XUV 700 with sun roof) The car was comfortable most of the time and our driver was also a young local who drove really well and carefully in the mountain roads. However, on day 3, while returning to Gangtok from Lachung, the vehicle had some challenges with pickup/driving up the hill and we got delayed very badly. We had been awake from 6 am that morning visiting Zero point/Yamthang valley which were at high elevation and 3 of us had altitude sickness and had not eaten anything for hours. We found that the driver and the travel agents were more interested in sorting their vehicle rather than helping us figure out a way to get to Gangtok. I finally had to intervene ask for another vehicle to pick us up. Keep in mind, Sikkim is sparsely populated. The place we were stuck had no humans, lights and it was raining making the roads very muddy and dangerous. We got back late to the hotel after spending nearly 16 hours that day in the car with a very sick child. A nightmarish night ride where I was hoping and praying my child doesn’t get severe dehydration. Our driver for Darjeeling local sightseeing was another local driver and he refused to come to our hotel (Taksa Retreat) and wanted us to climb up the road. We explained to him that my mom and child were tired after climbing and walking so much every day. He was very reluctant, unhappy and had to be coerced by the travel agent to pick us up at the lobby. Our last leg of the journey was travel to Bagdogra from Darjeeling. Our flight was at 2.45 pm and we left Darjeeling at 10 am. It was the last day of election campaigning in WB and there were 2 massive political rallies at Darjeeling District and Siliguri. Neither us nor our driver had any clue about this. We got redirected by the police and paramilitary personnel multiple times and we had to take different diversions in the hills. Then as if the cup of woe has not run over, our SUV got a flat tire. By them time we repaired it and reached the airport, the staff refused to board us as they had closed the gates. But this is what disappointed me the most - I had requested our driver to wait for few mins after dropping us, in case I need help with getting dropped at a hotel. We were 3 women alone in an unfamiliar place and I was getting stressed about the possible options/safety in case we miss the flight. Our driver chose to leave, and he gave my number to a random driver in the taxi stand to help us. This guy was with us for a whole week, and we treated him well, but I guess he was in a hurry to go back to Gangtok rather than worry about people whose trip and tips are done. Luckily, the taxi driver turned out to be a nice person and dropped us at the hotel as requested. He mentioned that most taxis/drivers cancelled their trips to Darjeeling because of the political rallies. They also informed their clients who wanted to leave Darjeeling to leave early in the morning to avoid road closures and diversions. I really wish our Driver/Travel agent had done some check on this and updated us. Travel Agent – As soon as we landed, our travel agent mentioned that they had made some changes in our itinerary and that instead of Nathula Pass, we will be doing Yumthang Valley first. We were okay with that since we knew that traveling in Sikkim means being flexible and being okay with unpredictability. However, this seemed to be only applicable for tourists and not the travel agents. I requested that we post pone Nathula pass for a day after our nightmarish road travel back from Lachung and since everyone was sick. They expected us to do 2 consecutive days of heavy road trips to high altitudes. They made a huge fuss about cancelling and changing hotel plans and basically put all the extra charges on us. The manager Mr. Deepak was extremely rude and told me “You are already getting so much personalized services for the money you paid”. I really think that the package (which was hotels + ground Transport + personalised service) was not value for money especially the hotel accommodations. Not to mention the goof ups in getting permits to Northern Sikkim. My name was conveniently left out of the permit, and we could go only because of the military personnel being accommodative. (So much for personalized service!) However, Mr. Abhishek Thapa who was my SPOC and coordinated the whole trip for me was always polite, helpful and checked in on us morning and evening every day. I really appreciate that he was able to keep his composure and help us in the best way he can. May be in couple of months, all that has happened might become an interesting titbit/travel anecdote to share with others. But right now, I am quite bugged and feel very unhappy that we had to get so distressed during the holiday, especially at the end of it. Not to mention the extra money that we had to shell out again for tickets and accommodation. As for the travel agent/package we took – I am not so sure. I would have liked to give them the benefit of doubt, but in my interactions with them, I sensed that they were more interested in making their profit than worry about the customer’s well-being or experience.

The experience with the Travel Agent has been GOOD.. it may have been better but for the dusty Taxis provided in few places like Gangtok, sweating drivers in places like Pelling. Other places in Taxis and drivers were good.. when the booking were done for have Travelpedia as the Agent we agreed to pay Rs 2,000 extra to have a NEAT CLEAN , Innova vehicle on a Through and through basis wherein a single car and driver stay with us from day one to last day. But in reality the allocation was made on a point to point basis in different locations.. The Hotels booked at Siliguri, Gangtok and Pelling were good as promised. Neat rooms, good food, good service. But the Hotel Sumitel booked @ Darjerling is the WORST we have experienced in our life. It is located about 250 mts away from the Post office.. and you need to pull your suitcases all the way to a furlong or above to reach a small, dingy hotel.. the approach road is a narrow walking path lane that goes through residential areas and roadside shops.. everybody will be observing you when you are pulling or carrying the suitcases. On paper it is proposed as a 4* hotel.. but in reality it might be a 2* or less. Hence we have to vacate it and move to Ramada , Darjeeling by paying @ Rs 15,000 for two nights additionally.. this Hotel should never be recommended to any visitors.. Now the payment made to Travel Triangle by is Rs 131,500.. as it was invoiced to us.. against an Agreed and finalised quote of Rs 130,000 plus Rs 600 as Convenience fees for two Paxs @ Rs 300 each.. we are yet to receive the extra amount of Rs 900.. Overall the rating could be 4/5... Great Stay at Gangtok all site seeing places, great visit to Pelling and visit to Hanchanajunga Waterfall, Skywalk are a must.. we missed out on the visit to North Sikkim as the roads to Lachun and Lachen and closed due to a natural disaster recently.. Darjeeling Toy train ride, Tiger Hill trip.. was great. With clear skies all through. Great view of Mount Kanchenjunga.. Great food, great service in hotels and no upset stomachs. Overall its a great time to visit Sikkim and Darjeeling.. and we had very good time. Rating 4/5

While the experience inside Bhutan was very good, be it in terms of hotels, cab, driver, guide, etc. but it was equally horrifying inside India. At the Bagdogra Airport, the cab driver kept sitting inside the cab and was giving directions to us to search and reach out to him. The cab was dirty and the driver didn’t bother to clean it at all. The cab AC started to cool only after about an hour after the cab left behind Siliguri. While coming back from Jaigaon to Bagdogra, the cab was changed from Innova to Ertiga without our knowledge and consent. However, the worst came when the Ertiga driver refused to switch the AC on saying that he’s not getting enough so as to switch on the AC. After a lot of commotion, and a call to Nitesh, the travel agent, the cab driver switched the AC on. We were still left to get one more surprise, the driver was driving extremely rash. I would long to forget the cab experience within West Bengal. Bhutan driver, guide, scenic beauty and Bhutanese people - all were amazing. Would love to go there again, but by taking direct flight to Paro, even though it’s costly, but worth it.

Mrs. Khinamaya from Bhutan Inc has given very good very competitive package. Prior to booking, she has given all information patiently, supported throughout the journey. Regarding itinerary, only scope for improvement is haa valley view point was not covered(as it was mentioned in our itinerary), guide told that there is no such thing like haa valley view point. Otherwise all view points are covered. Regarding Hotels, all hotels are good, with enough amenities, good hygiene, tasty breakfast and ofcourse good hospitality. Only scope for improvement - Hotel in Siliguri is too poor in hygeine and in service. At this price , a good hotel may be found , even if hotel has less ameneties , good hygiene is essential, i think. Damchen resort in punakha is good but room size is too small. Regarding our travel and guide Timely Pickup and drop, comfortable vehicle. The guide, named Bijay, is humble, very knowledgeable, helpful and giving truthful information most of the times Only scope for improvement is changing tyres of vehicle can be done by driver, Sandip, before scheduled travel so tourist don't have to wait. InPhobjika, view from the hotel Yue Loki, was superb... Tiger nest hike was memorable...

Just finished north Sikkim and Darjeeling trip, we had a wonderful experience. We had started our journey from Siliguri and reached Gangtok. We had a plan for Nathula, baba mandir but due to bad weather the plan cancelled. But we don’t have any complaints because we saw heaven called north Sikkim. Thank you #trip2hills for arranging the entire trip beautifully. Thank you #suren for awesome company and guidance. We saw how skilfully you drive in such dangerous road and we did not feel any fear at all. Only we had issue with lachen hotel and their staff behaviour. We did not expect such a bad quality of hotel. Overall we are satisfied with the plan and most recommended to all. Gurudongmar and kala pathhar journey

Throughout the journey, she was always available when needed and did her best to resolve things. There were some minor hiccups while doing check-in in One of Darjeeling's hotels and after her intervention, they shifted us to another room, Apart from this all things were done as mentioned in the itineraries. The cabs were clean and the drivers were good and helpful. Those who are planning to visit Sikkim, go ahead with Bina's travels. They are experienced, always happy to help and will not bother you again-2 for payment. Tips for travelers: Prefer heater cabs if you are traveling in winter, especially for lachen and lachung.

Travel Triangle is great link to book trips as well as flight tickets, recently booked flight and trip to Jaipur, Jodhpur & Udaipur. Website provided multiple offers to compare and choose. highly recommended Rohit from Kingsland is excellent. Always keen to help, very courteous and prompt with service. Rohit's kind approach resulted is us booking airline tickets through him/Kingsland as well. We also booked tickets for Bagdogara/Siliguri through Rohit. Thanks, a lot for your efforts/service. The hotels booked Jagat Hotel (Udaipur), Laxmi Palace Heritage hotel (Jaipur) & Mandore Guest House were all great with nice breakfast. We loved them all. Thanks Rohit< we highly recommend contacting Rohit from Kingsland for Rajasthan & Gangtok/Sikkim travel needs. We had great experience.

Had a memorable trip of Sikkim (Gangtok, Pelling, Lachen, Lachung). Mr. Prashant Singh organized the trip nicely. On the day of arrival, we reached Siliguri quite late than ETA so it was not possible to reach Gangtok. But, Mr Prashant managed to provide temporary hotel in Siliguri instead. That was good. Lachen and Lachung trips were excellent, driver was also very nice. Gangtok trip was also very good. Had some up-downs for Peilling trip, as hotel voucher was not working and had to switch hotel for 2nd day. Driver was not paying for parking despite inclusion of parking fees. Though it was refunded later by travel agent. One point of improvement would be, they out source the traveling and sometimes drivers are on 3rd or 4th sub-contract so, issues like timing, parking fees etc. arises, if this could be taken care then it would be good. All hotels were good overall. The trip was great. Lachen, Lachung

Overall trip experience was good. Tourists were less during our visit, otherwise it would have been much better. No compliants on travel agency services, hotels and locations. Only thing which has bothered is food which is served tasteless and also minimum quantity in lachen hotel, also it is understandable that everything has to come from Siliguri through gangtok, travel issues exists. Lachen staying hotel was wonderful
