Shoestring trips in Dooars
Most of the Eastern Himalaya can be travelled the way hill people travel: shared jeeps from the Siliguri and Gangtok stands, homestays with home food, and momo shops instead of hotel buffets.
We price these trips at the Budget tier and tell you exactly where a reserved car or a registered tourist vehicle is required, for example inside the protected areas of North and East Sikkim.
