Package tour of Darjeeling and Gangtok-Hitting two birds with one stone

Darjeeling and Gangtok, two of the most enchanting and well-known hill stations in the North-East occupy a pride of place not only amongst its inhabitants but also amongst those bitten by the travel bug. Darjeeling and Gangtok, in fact, have become synonymous with hill-stations. Tour operators, travel agents and all other individuals and institutions connected with tourism in North-East are organizing tours of Gangtok and Darjeeling tours throughout the year to make a quick buck. 

Since we are all living in an age where time is of crucial importance. As everybody is busy throughout the year, we need to take time off to rejuvenate ourselves but the irony is that we are all hard pressed for time. Keeping this fact in mind, tour operators and travel agents, organize short tours of Gangtok with a combo pack of Darjeeling tours. These packages are coded according to their time schedules, for instance 4-day packages, 5-day packages, and so on. One such package tour of Gangtok and Darjeeling tour which is spread over 5 days, starts at Darjeeling with a night stopover. The next day, after visiting the worth seeing sights and sceneries- a very early morning visit to Tiger Hill to watch the sunrise, is one important part of the itinerary-, you start for Gangtok and reach there in the evening. Gangtok looks brilliant and scintillating in the evening and the best way to soak in the pleasures is by taking a stroll around. The next day, you leave for Nathula, and on the way you make a brief stopover at Tsomgo Lake. You are also taken to Baba Mandir which is just on the periphery of Nathula. At Nathula, you can see the Chinese border.
