The former kingdom of Sikkim and Darjeeling, famed for its tea, are Bhutan's next door neighbors. If you wish to extend your travels, we now offer programs to these two Himalayan states under the gaze of mighty Mount Gangchendzonga (usually anglicized as Kanchenjunga).

The region exudes a curious mix of old English colonial charm and its colorful Himalayan roots. We have researched a selection of trips that range from elegant tea-tasting tours to Himalayan treks. Our family connections in both Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, and Darjeeling, "Queen of Hill Stations", mean we can seamlessly combine your foray into the region with your Bhutan journey. We have picked a colonial gem of a cottage and a former guest house of the Raja of Sikkim among the lodges for your accommodation. Highlights include the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and Museum (a little-known fact is that Darjeeling was the hometown of Tenzing Sherpa, the first to summit Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary); the Tibetology Institute in Gangtok; and the Rumtek Monastery, dedicated to the Karma Kagyu Buddhist lineage.
