Treks and walks in Darjeeling
In Darjeeling, treks and walks works best in Kurseong, Sandakphu. Walks graded by hours, height and terrain, with registered guides and honest costs.
The region has some of India's best short treks: the Singalila ridge to Sandakphu, the Dzongri trail from Yuksom and day walks between villages in Kalimpong and Bhutan.
We grade every walk by hours on foot, height gained and the highest point, and use registered local guides as the rules require.
