3-Day Darjeeling Itinerary: Tea, Toy Train & Tiger Hill

This 3-day darjeeling itinerary is designed to be well-paced and realistic, with sensible drive times built in. No special permit is needed for Darjeeling itself; nearby Sikkim areas may require inner-line permits, which we arrange.

Day-by-day plan

Day 1: Arrive and settle in Darjeeling; stroll the Mall and Chowrasta.

Day 2: Pre-dawn Tiger Hill sunrise, Batasia Loop, Ghoom Monastery and a tea-estate visit; afternoon toy-train joyride.

Day 3: Himalayan Zoo, Mountaineering Institute and Peace Pagoda before departure.

Good to know

  • Gateway: Bagdogra Airport (about 3 hours by road to Darjeeling)
  • Best time: October to December and March to May for clear mountain views; the monsoon (June–September) is lush but drives are slower.
  • Itinerary is flexible — we adjust the pace and stays to suit your clients

TripTrix Voyages arranges the full Darjeeling hills experience for the travel trade — net rates on request for any itinerary.
