Darjeeling Full Day Sightseeing Tour

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.

Ashmita Tours provided us a flawless service. Driver Dipu was awesome. Ashmita tours is highly recommended.

We had a pleasant 2 Day, 3 Night vacation in Darjeeling arranged by Ashmita Trek and Tours. Mr Subash was a phone call away if we had any query. Drivers were also very professional and telling the story behind famous places.

We are a couple visiting from outside India. We found out about Ashmita treks and tours online. They have excellent online reviews . It was very easy to communicate with Mr Subhash and his associates . They created a custom itinerary for us which we modified a little . Our drivers Niraj and Dipu were excellent. They were extremely polite , knowledgeable and skilled . We saw all the major attractions in Darjeeling - spent plenty of time taking pictures . We saw the most amazing sunset at Tiger Hill! Seeing the Kanchenjunga peak at sunrise was a wonderful experience. We felt very well taken care of by Ashmita tours and very safe with their drivers - this is very important to us. We hope to return again with our kids to plan a longer stay and do some trekking.

it was very easy to engage with Ashmita Trek and Tours. Subash was able to customise our stay to ensure best use of the available time.
We did a four hour tour around Darjeeling to the main sites. We followed with a day hike that was customised to suit our age (late 60’s). A car trip to Gangtok included a visit to the Rumtek Monastery. We visited Gangtok’s main sights, including the Museum of Tibetology, Enchey Monastery, the market and Tasha Viewpoint.
Our guide Lama was excellent throughout, with very good English, extensive subject knowledge and a real concern for our comfort and well-being. Drivers were very good and their vehicles in excellent condition.
