    I was in Darjeeling recently and was able to connect with Subash at Ashmita Tours. Me and my companions ended up doing two tours with Subash. On our first day, we got the opportunity to visit a local tea plantation (and have a tasting), the Himalayan Mountain Institute, and the Tibetan Refugee Center. We also took a long nature walk above the city, which isn't something a lot of other tour companies are doing. We ended at a Buddhist temple and were really the only ones there, which gave us an opportunity to meditate and enjoy the peace and quiet. The second day we got up quite early to try and catch the sunrise on Tiger Hill. Mother Nature, unfortunately, had other plans as it was quite foggy, but once it was light out, we took a long nature walk through an animal reserve, seeing lots of beautiful trees/nature/birds/flowers along the way. We later visited a Hindu temple, before climbing quite a few stairs to get to a Buddhist monastery. We were so lucky to arrive when the monks were chanting. We were welcomed in and sat in the floor listening to their mesmerizing chants, and were given some butter tea to enjoy as well. It was an incredible experience. We did a lot of nature walking this particular day, and eventually found ourselves at Subash's friend's house where we were served an absolutely scrumptious breakfast on a rooftop looking out over the mountains. Once we were fueled up, we continued our walk and got to visit a Sherpa graveyard and another beautiful Buddhist temple before getting back into town. Both days were really amazing, and Subash took great care of us, looking after us both days. I highly recommend booking with Ashmita Trek and Tours if you are in Darjeeling. You won't be disappointed.
