Enchanting Darjeeling in the Himalayas

Draped like a green velvet over a steep Himalayan mountain ridge Darjeeling is covered with lush forests and endless tea plantations.The small town Darjeeling is densely packed with endless shops and its catacomb of narrow roads provide a maze to explore this hill station. Once you've dragged yourself away from a Tibetan handicraft store and escaped the aroma of fine tea brewing the surroundings of this town provide excellent treks with amazing viewpoints.

We will spend 4-nights in Darjeeling on our spiritual adventure to the Himalayas in October of this year. There's still space available so if you are keen on joining us, please send contact us. More information about our 16-day Himalayan spiritual adventure.
