Darjeeling and the Eastern Horizons

This trip takes you deep into the undiscovered parts of India, far from the usual tourist trail. We'll travel into the remote hills of Orissa, home to tribes who have their own distinctive culture and traditions, then enter West Bengal for a stay in the relaxed coastal town of Puri. Calcutta is India at its most intense - a bustling city that sweeps you along in the tide of humanity. Escaping the heat of the plains we head north visiting Darjeeling and the beautiful Karmi Farm. Entering the foothills of the Himalayas at Sikkim offers endless amazing visitas before crossing the border into Nepal, ending our trip in the beautiful medieval capital of Kathmandu.
