An enjoyable day trip in Darjeeling - We were picked up from our hotel by our guide cum driver. Anuj at 8:40 AM in His Toyota Inova. He first took us to the Japanese Peace Pagoda = from where we got an enchanting view of the snow-clad golden peak of Kanchanjunga. Next we were driven to the incredible Batasia Loop . After that er visited a tea garden on the slope of a mountain, where we bought some second-flush tea leaves, and ate some delicious Momos cooked and sold by a local vendor just outside the tea garden. Finally, we visited the Zoo garden and the adjoining Mountaineering Institute. This zoo had some special animals on display - such as, a white leopard ,a black leopard, a royal Bengal tiger, two red pandas and a number of exotic birds from far-away places. On the overall, I will rate the service of our guide-cum-driver Anuj as excellent and I will have no hesitation in recommending this tourist service from Green Escape Tour in Darjeeling.

Nice and memorable Darjeeling one-day tour! - Many nice stops during this trip were memorable and pleasant. Starting with the sunrise on Tiger Hill and the view of Mt. Kanchenchunga was spectacular, the Ghum Monastery and the Batasia Loop also within the view of Mt. Kanchenchunga. We had a nice break in the morning for an hour, back to our homestay for breakfast. Then the tour continued on to the others destinations like the Himalayan Zoo and Museum, Tea Garden, Gangamaya Park, etc.. We missed the Japanese Peace Pagoda, which was closed on Wednesdays. It was not a guided tour, we visited the places on our own and met the driver at a designated spot after our visit. We were not well-informed about the tour driver, and it took us quite some calls/texts with Mr. Abhishek to work out the initial pickup time. Our driver was Vivek, Amos's brother, who was also a skillful driver and pleasant. We had a wonderful time seeing Darjeeling and highly recommend Green Escape Tours for Darjeeling day trip.

Perfect way to visit the highlights of Darjeeling in one day - Lovely trip to the major sights in Darjeeling. Our driver was exceedingly patient and helpful. He helped make our experience in Darjeeling memorable. The sunrise at Tiger Hill was the best part, followed by the gorgeous hillside tea plantations north of the city.

Don't leave India without doing this tour - I booked this tour and subsequently arranged to be picked up from Bagdogra on Day 1 and did the Ghum train station and Batasia Loop on my way to the hotel. Day 2 was the tour with some changes I wanted made. I deleted the Tiger Hill Observation Deck because of the cloudy weather but was fortunate to get a better view from the top of my hotel the next morning . I replaced the Ghoom Monastery with the Dali Monastery where believe it or not I had the best and cheapest coffee in Darjeeling. The monks certainly like their coffee !!. I thought the Tea Garden was a bit of a tourist trap in terms of getting tourists to dress up in traditional clothes and pretend to pick tea leaves. I did not do the Tibetan Refugee Self Help Center as last year I had visited Dharamsala where the Dalai Lama resides. Landslides prevented a visit to Gangamaya Park. I spent a lot of time at the Darjeeling railway station and Locomotive Shed taking lots of photos and videos of the steam trains shuttling the passenger carriages and departing for Ghum. At the suggestion of the host, on Day 3 I returned to my hotel in Siliguri where I had a wedding to attend, because of road closures on NH10 due to landslides and traffic jams on the route I travelled on to Darjeeling on Day 1 , I took an alternative route route. This was via the Nepal Border to Mirik , a very scenic and congestion free route. The stopovers at the pine forest and the tea plantation afforded great photo opportunities. I cannot recommend highly enough Green Escape Tours and Travel for their tours in the Darjeeling area. I also give recommend their choice of vehicle for the road conditions and their driver Amos for his driving skills and proficiency in the English language.

Day trip sightseeing for Darjeeling locations - The trip included visits to the Tiger Hill for sunrise watching and possibly seeing Kanchenchunga, Ghum monastery, Himalayan Zoo, Happy Valley Tea. The highlights of the trip was Tiger Hill and the zoo. The sunrise was beautiful, however it was hard to see with many people there. The zoo had some beautiful animals there including a Bengal Tiger, Leopard and Red Pandas. The trip communication before the day of the tour was slow. The organizer only communicated via messages. The final tour itinerary was not set up until 6 pm the day before. Including a delayed start time. I would have preferred a conversation with the organizer a few days before to know what to expect and let him know what I really wanted to see. The tour is not a guided one. The driver dropped us off at the sites. Beyond that we were on our own. A guided tour would have been better. Certainly the Tiger Hill experience would have been better with someone showing where to stand to get the best views. The driver was very curteous. The trip could have taken us to a few other sights that we chose not to go to. The Happy Valley Tea estate visit was OK. The walk up and down to see the estate required walking up and down several deep uneven steps. Not good for people with weak knees.
