Check out after breakfast and enjoy a morning tour of the Do Drul Chorten stupa and the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology before The Travel Stations drives you to Darjeeling. Check into your mountain resort and spend a relaxed evening walking along the Mall Road.

Witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Kanchenjunga range at Tiger Hill, an iconic experience managed by The Travel Stations. After returning for breakfast, head back out to explore the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, the Peace Pagoda, and the beautiful Rock Garden before your final evening.
