Gangtok First or Darjeeling First?
We suggest Gangtok first: Tsomgo permits depend on weather, so keeping a buffer day in Gangtok helps. Darjeeling is lower and better to end with an easy pace.
Things Competitor Itineraries Leave Out
- Vehicle change: Sikkim and West Bengal taxis have separate permits; we plan a smooth handover.
- Festival rush: Durga Puja, Diwali and Christmas weeks see 2–3x crowd – book 45+ days ahead.
- Altitude acclimatisation: Keep Tsomgo for Day 2, not on arrival day.
- Senior citizens: Ask for hotels with lifts and car-accessible entrances (many Darjeeling hotels are on steps).
- Permits: Carry ID copies and photos – see the Sikkim permit guide.
